Unfortunately, there's not too much documentation on the "mousing around" stuff because (a) it's supposed to be "intuitively obvious" and (b) the cost in writer's time and documentation bytes is high relative to the information provided. But I know how you feel.

By changing the number of columns from 2 to 3
in the inspector window for the outline view,
another column is created, but by default
it is a column of NSTextFieldCell.

That step is necessary and correct.

What am I missing, overlooking, not finding?


Try:  menu ► Tools ► Library ► Objects ► Views & Cells ► Cells

Grab the thing that looks like a checkbox named "Check Box Cell". Note that in fine print under the name it gives its class, NSButtonCell. Drag it onto the NSTextFieldCell that you want to change to a button cell and poof it changes. Now, open the Inspector ► Attributes (first tab) on this cell and change its "Style" from "Check" to "Push" or whatever you want it to look like.

I believe the confusion arises from the fact that the "NSButtonCell" in IB's Library has an icon that looks like a checkbox.

P.S. I believe that a the customary place to ask Interface Builder questions is [EMAIL PROTECTED] But that's confusing too because Interface Builder ain't Xcode. They should call it the devtools-users. Oh, well. You have to learn the customs. Everything is legacy._______________________________________________
