How to implement a UITabBar view in Mac OS X applications?

In my Mac application I'd like to implement a view that simulates UITabBar from iOS.

What's the preferred way to implement this? Use NSOutlineView , NSTableView, or something else?

For a native Mac app, the equivalent of a UITabBar is an NSTabView. If you want to go for the iOS look, you either have to roll your own with some NSView subclass or take a look at UMEKit.

Chameleon may also be an option, but it currently doesn't implement UITabBar, this might change in the future.

If you want to follow a trend of making your Mac app with the UIKit look-and-feel you might want to take a look at the Chameleon Project - note the status of the project on the developer's blog. However, the project source is on github now, and people are helping out.
