Let's say I want the combo box to provide the user with auto completion on the names of categories in the array controller, and if the user types in a category name that does not exist, then they will be automatically prompted to create the category. This will not work with a popup button.
A more typical UI is to have a pop-up menu with the known categories listed and an 'Other...' item which prompts for a new name, which is then added to the menu. It's less surprising to the user since the prompt only appears when they deliberately choose it, as hinted by the trailing ellipsis. In your UI, a poor typist is going to get very frustrated by the constant interruption that they didn't ask for.
Combo-boxes are really pretty evil. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
