for iOS there is the UITabbar and UIToolbar controls, where the UIToolbar is either Icon or text, and the UITabbar is either/and … Technically there go along the bottom of the device screen, but in fact can be place anywhere desired.
Xcode uses something similar in Interface Builder (just a strip of “icon” only buttons)
I have searched, but cannot seem to find a macOS version of such a control.
I could create a custom one, but would prefer to use a native one if such exists?
Another example would be the control strip above the main IDE window in Xojo
oh that !!!
sorry
in the IDE that doesnt necessarily map to a specific macOS UI control that I know of
I’m not even sure that Apple talks about stuff like this in the UI Guidelines
AFAICT its would be a kind of “tool bar” but I have no idea what specific NS/UI control that is
