There are several applications that use this control. One I think most everyone knows is Xcode, another is AppStar. I am interested to know what control this is and where I can find an open source implementation of it:

"The box thingy within the bounds of the red area where it says Build Succeeded"

enter image description here

One developer said he has seen this called a "Jukebox View", but I cannot find anything anywhere with that name, or anything like it.

Does anyone know what exactly this control is called or if there is in fact an open source implementation?

See Visual guide of AppKit controls? for an explanation of how to explore this question. This is called IDEActivityView. It is not a public class.

  • Good thing the project I am working on won't be public! Where exactly can I get this `IDEActivityView ` control from to use it in my application? Google search of "IDEActivityView" turns up nothing useful. – WrightsCS Jun 07 '12 at 03:08

    It's part of Xcode. "it is not a public class." If you want to spelunk inside of IDEKit, it's in there. But nothing about IDEKit is designed to be pulled out and used in your own projects. /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/IDEKit.framework – Rob Napier Jun 07 '12 at 03:13
  • Okay, I understand that and see it in the Xcode class dump. However, there is another application "AppStar" that uses a similar control. Screenshot: http://snapplr.com/gy4a – WrightsCS Jun 07 '12 at 03:16
  • Sure. They probably built their own. Note how it doesn't look that much like Xcode's? The one you posted is `IDEActivityView`. If you use the link I provided, you'll learn the tools I used to discover that fact, and you can use the same technique to explore AppStar. – Rob Napier Jun 07 '12 at 03:18
