Cocoa: Making an editable bubble

[Agnusmaximus]

Hi guys, I want to insert an editable bubble in my app. I don't really know what it's called, but I can give you a picture of what I want: This is from the Xcode IDE

you might be talking about an NSTextView which contains Tokens or a TokenField. Look up this in the Apple API and see if this offers the functionality you need. I would recommend using an NSMutableString to hold your data as the values are stored in a comma separated syntax.
