Stoney,

This link is about the target-action messages.

<http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/Programmi
ngTopics/ActionMessages/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000067i>

I think your going to find thought that the target-action paradigm is for
NSControls (a subclass of NSView). So you might have to make your subclass
a subclass of NSActionCell or something like that. The target-action idea
is not a protocol that you can just implement anywhere it seems.



Hope this helps.
