Unread count for items in Mail.app-styled NSOutlineView
-
Hi all
I'm trying to make a lateral sidebar that is similar to Mail.app's or
iTunes'. It all works well with a NSOutlineView with the "Data source"
display option, but I was wondering how could I get the single items
to draw the equivalent of the "unread count" for folders in Mail.app's
sidebar, or the number of active downloads in iTunes'.
I guess it's a fairly common UI element, and I was wondering if there
was an "official" way to do it, and if not is there any sample source
code that you know of which I can take some inspiration from?
Thanks.

Hi Leonardo-
I implemented a counter that looked the same in a safari-like tabs
implementation...
