That's what I'm doing, by emulating the Carbon control. I think

the menu title and always displays the same image. The Carbon
control is a
very useful one which I've been using for over a decade I suppose.
I was
just interested to know if anyone else had done this and what
approach they
took.
So what you want is a pull-down menu, not a pop-up menu? Same class,
different behavior.
I was confusing my terminology, what I'm after is a pull down list in
Cocoa terms. The HIG refers to the menus in this situation as pop-up
menus though.
If you do want the pop-up behavior, minus the changing of the button
title, look at -[NSPopUpButtonCell setUsesItemFromMenu:]. Be careful,
though, I've found it to be pretty buggy.
I'd overlooked that, I've just given it a try. It still seems to
cause the first menu item to disappear if you use -setMenu: though
unfortunately. I realise that's the way the popup button works, it's
just not very clear in the docs particularly when you set a menu
explicitly. Having gone through all this I now know it's possible to
get a lot closer to the Carbon control, but the Cocoa one still seems
a bit awkward and less versatile.

Jo Meder
