I'm attempting to make a pop up button that pops its menu to the

setPreferredEdge seems to be largely ignored, whether I set it in
code or even quickly testing it in IB. Am I forgetting some sort of
step?
Hi Francisco,
This isn't supported on OS X. The preferred edge is ignored for menu
positioning, because the standard UI is to show the menu below the
control.
If you want the menu to pop up somewhere else, you will have to
override mouseDown: and pop up the menu manually. However, it's
normally best to follow Macintosh conventions and let the frameworks
worry about menu positioning.
