Hey guys,
Im looking for a Safari like search field to use in my app. Is there a class anywhere about?

Thanks!
Oliver

Define "Safari like".

If you just want rounded ends, that's an option on NSTextField/NSTextFieldCell that can be set programatically (check the headers) or in IB.

If you want the X button that appears once you type something, or the icon-and-popup-menu on the left, you're on your own -- common as they are lately, Apple doesn't provide these in any public API. They're not too difficult to do yourself, though; you could subclass NSTextFieldCell and add custom buttons as standardized subviews, and subclass NSTextFieldCell to make sure the text doesn't overlap them.

If you want a widget you can just plop into your app to provide Google searching... you've got quite a job ahead of you.

This is the source code for a Mail.app style text field. (Same one as Safari.)

...And it's Cocoa/Java.

Ugh.

I ended up using:

I didnt need all the features of the others. So I just edited it to not have the X button.

All I really wanted was magnifying glass.
