DSFActionBar

An editable, draggable bar of buttons and menus similar to Safari's Favorites bar with overflow support for macOS (10.11 and later).

Classes

DSFActionBar

A collection of buttons (items). If not enough space is available to display all the items, a 'More Items' button appears with the hidden buttons in it.

This control was inspired by Safari's favorites bar.

Demo Movie

Features

  • Center or left-align the item collection
  • Set the background color
  • Add, remove, rename items
  • Enable/Disable items
  • Right-click on item detection
  • Overflow support when the available space is too narrow
  • (Optional) dropdown menu support for items
  • (Optional) reordering via dragging the items

Example

self.actionBar.actionDelegate = self

// Add a simple 'job' button with a target/action
self.actionBar.add("Jobs", target: self, action: #selector(self.jobItem(_:)))

// Add a button with a drop-down menu
let menu = NSMenu()
menu.addItem(withTitle: "first", action: #selector(self.firstItem(_:)), keyEquivalent: "")
menu.addItem(withTitle: "second", action: #selector(self.secondItem(_:)), keyEquivalent: "")
menu.addItem(withTitle: "third", action: #selector(self.thirdItem(_:)), keyEquivalent: "")
self.actionBar.add("Ordering", menu: menu)

DSFActionTabBar

A collection of buttons that act as a tab bar. If not enough space is available, a 'More Items' button appears with the 'hidden' tabs in it.

For an example of this, look at detail pane in KeyChain Access - "All Items", "Password" etc. It is this KeyChain Access app that partially inspired this control - as you will notice that if you resize the window smaller than the tabs it just draws off-screen)

Features

  • Center or left-align the item collection
  • Set the background color
  • Add, remove, rename items
  • Enable/Disable items
  • Overflow support when the available space is too narrow

Example

// Set the delegate so that we receive tab selection messages
self.actionTabBar.actionTabDelegate = self

// Add our items
self.actionTabBar.add("All Items")
self.actionTabBar.add("Passwords")
self.actionTabBar.add("Secure Notes")
self.actionTabBar.add("My Certificates")
self.actionTabBar.add("Keys")
self.actionTabBar.add("Certificates")

...

extension MyViewController: DSFActionTabBarDelegate {
	func actionTabBar(_ actionTabBar: DSFActionTabBar, didSelectItem item: DSFActionBarItem, atIndex index: Int) {
		Swift.print("Selected tab \(index) for item '\(item.title)'")
	}
}

Demo

You can find some demo apps in the Demos subfolder.

Installation

Swift Package Manager

Add https://github.com/dagronf/DSFActionBar to your project.

Usage

Via Interface Builder

  • Add a custom NSView using Interface Builder, then change the class type to DSFActionBar or DSFActionTabBar as needed.

Programatically

let actionBar = DSFActionBar(frame: rect)
let tabBar = DSFActionTabBar(frame: rect)

Known issues

  • Dragging after changing the theme (ie. dark mode -> standard) the draw background still uses the color of the previous theme.
