Anyone know if theres declares to access

I’d love to be able to hook into the native Help Search field

I’m guessing theres some callback I’d have to register for or that the App would have to provide

I’ve never had to do this one before so I’m at a bit of a loos if anyone can offer guidance

If you have a copy of My AppKit I have a search field there, but I don’t recall how I did it, sorry.

What do you like to do?

And have you found some code doing this in objective c to convert to Xojo?

Just want a user to be able to enter text into the default search field & respond to it in the app I’m writing for the client

I’ll check Sams kit - I think I have it here

I have what appears to be a 64-bit version of macoslib from ten years ago. It contains NSSearchField, if that’s what you’re looking for. I just tried the project with a relatively recent xojo, and the project did not compile, not surprisingly. I’m happy to send you the project if you want to extract the relevant bits.

Good to hear from you
I’d appreciate the version

Why not GitHub - macoslib/macoslib: MacOSLib - a set of classes to use OS X specific functions in Real Studio / Xojo applications

Several things to see if I can make this work
