Devs,
I have a custom NSToolbarItem with a NSButton underneath. I set the main and
alternate images for the button using [NSImage imageNamed:imageName], then call
[toolbaritem setView:view] and pass in the NSButton. But when I run the
application, the NSToolbarItem is does not show the image

Try some bonehead debugging with NSLog(). Verify that toolbaritem is your
target item at that point, in particular, that it is not nil. If that seems to
be OK, try
There's a lot to be said for spreading lots of NSLog through your code. It's
amazing how many bugs you can nail down using this old-school form of debugging.

Jerry,
The example I was following comes from Stack Overflow and going something like
this within the custom toolbar item:
NSButton *button = [[NSButton alloc]init];
[button setImage:[NSImage imageNamed:@StarEmpty]];
[button setAlternateImage:[NSImage imageNamed:@StarFull]];
[button
Andy,
I inserted code to check for nil images and image position, here is what I got:
// set the original and alternate images...names are “opposite
NSImage *image = [NSImage imageNamed:@StopButtonAlternateIcon”];
if(image)
{
NSLog(@Setting 1st image for stop button);
[_button
Oh well, it was worth a try, and at least you've confirmed some basic steps
*are* working.
From your previous message it sounds like you also checked self.toolbarItem and
it too was not nil (as it could have been if, for example, you'd forgotten to
connect an outlet in IB -- or if you were
Andy,
I discovered something that may lead to the real culprit. Using the debugger, I
checked the size of the image chosen by imageNamed method, it was choosing the
128x128 icon image, but my toolbar item buttons were 48x48. I changed the
toolbar item sizes to 32x32, same thing.

“or if you were trying to plug in the button during init, which is too early).”
That may be it, as I was setting the toolbar item’s view to the button in
init(). If not there then where?

I got it! The button code goes inside the validate() method, which one has to
override for custom toolbar items with custom views/buttons. Everything works.
Thanks for assistance everyone!
