No offense, Dave -- you've been very generous with your time and
advice (while also, of course, satisfying your own curiosity :)) --
but I personally would use I. Savant's original "too dirty"
suggestion, which can be implemented in three lines:
@implementation MyButton
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
[[self cell] setEnabled:YES];
[super drawRect:rect];
[[self cell] setEnabled:NO];
}
@end
It would make sense to uncheck the button's "Enabled" box in IB, but
with this solution you don't even have to do that.
Granted, I haven't tried all permutations, but this is what I would
have started with.

While my answer may be "best", now that I know what you're planning
to do with it, I would still suggest that you use something like
Brandon's BWToolkit. Your phobia of third-party controls will just
make life difficult for you. For example: you just spent 10 hours
trying to replicate a gradient bar, when you could've spent 20
minutes downloading Brandon's toolkit, installing it, restarting IB,
then dragging and dropping in a gradient toolbar yourself, and it
would've behaved in exactly the same way with no measurable
difference in performance.

No, Michael, that was a simple technical question. Dave's answer was
the best. He even helped me with focus workarounds. Some people told
me something like "Don't do it because I don't like that you do it.
Your app will always suck...etc.etc." -- that absolutely don't
disturb
me, that are their personal problems.
