Even you do not know how to use sheets window, you should have problem to find it in google or in any cocoa programming book. Because of that i will not describe how to create sheet controller or how to use NSOpenPanel/NSSavePanel in sheet (search documentation for beginSheetModalForWindow:completionHandler:).

One of managers asked me to move MySite navigation to the quick launch navigation on the left side. He asked if I would make this, whether it would be a very difficult and requires a lot of time.

Becase of this (and of course willingness to try new platform) I decided to buy my first mac and started realize my ideas. First application i have installed was XCode and the party has began ;) Ok, let’s back to the main topic - how to add your own icon or text to the system status bar, which is Mac OSX equivalent of MS Windows’ tray bar or tray menu.

In ASP.NET Web Application is enough when you set TypeName property with yourNamespace.yourClassName, but on the SharePoint pages that is not enough. You can select one of the following options:

1. add to the typename properties in aspx file full name of your assembly.

1	<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="odsDepartment" TypeName="yourNamespace.DepartmentLogic, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" SelectMethod="Select" OnObjectCreating="GetDepartments" OnObjectDisposing="ReturnDepartments" runat="server" />

2. add your assembly to the assemblies in the web.config of your SharePoint application.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

<compilation batch="false" debug="false"> <assemblies> ... <add assembly="yourAssemblyName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e0e1ddb7afa0d474"/> </assemblies> ... </compilation>

Have you ever heard about DelegateControl ? If not read this.

You do not need create new master page for customizing your SharePoint sites. Default.master contains several delegate controls:

• AdditionalPageHead
• SmallSearchInputBox - is using to change search box at the top right corner of the sp page
• GlobalSiteLink0
• TopNavigationDataSource
• PublishingConsole

Using it you are able to inject to the page every control you want. AdditionalPageHead delegate control is the most frequently use, because it is the one that gives you possibility to add more than one control (AllowMultipleControls=”true”). It is added in tag, and it could be using for injection many curious things (js files, controls for managing ribbon menu, etc).

How to use delegate control on the example of search box.

• create feature (delegate control could be use with any feature scope you need)
• create control definition and add it to feature. Of course, it need to be added inside element manifest.

<Control Id="SmallSearchInputBox" 
         ControlSrc="~/_controltemplates/your_path/search.ascx" 
         Sequence="10" />

You could also use:

<Control Id="SmallSearchInputBox"
  ControlClass="yourNamespace.yourClassName"
  ControlAssembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$"
  Sequence="10" />

• create your control in controltemplates mapped folder your_path/ search.ascx which could be normal base usercontrol with basic html. For instance script tag or

1

<a href="advancedSearch.aspx">Advanced search</a>

• deploy you feature to the serwer
• activate feature and be happy with the results ;)
