[Mono-osx] [MonoMac] NSSearchField Sample and diffs

[kjpou]

Hello everyone.

Did not read thoroughly the documentation so my implementation of 
NSControl is wrong and will have to be changed as per the Apple 
Documentation:

An NSControl object posts the following notifications to interested 
observers and its delegate. Note that although the NSControl class 
defines delegate methods, it does not itself have a delegate. Any 
subclass that uses these methods must have a delegate and the methods to 
get and set it.

Will send a new update later.

Sorry about that

Kenneth
