textbox in mac taskbar (google made it with google deskbar for windows)

843810Nov 22 2007
Hi,

I'm .net developper but did java during college (in 1999, long time ago). I came across a problem which I think Java could solve. One of my client asked me to program a deskbar, google made it with a search textbox in the taskbar but my needs are different and simpler, just need a textbox and a OK button. The OK button would open a browser which I would pass an url with a parameter (hereisatest.aspx?CodeEntered=xxx where xxx is the code entered in the textbox) nothing more than that, no search, no nothing, just a call to the web browser.

I know how to achieve it in c# under windows but under Mac OS, I have no idea how to make it happen. I would prefer having the same code on both OS but I think it's too OS related.

If someone could indicate a direction on how to do it, it would be greatly appreciated. I searched for hours on google but found nothing.

Thanks
