Cocoa provides the NSToken class, but I like to do it by myself and custom, but I don't know what or how to do.

I tempt to draw the Token. This works fine, but now its on my View and without any functionality. I expect i shout place it somehow into the TextView. I hope you will give me a hint.

Salut

This is what the NSTokenField class is for. Basically, the token field asks its delegate for information about its tokens, and then draws the tokens itself.
