Kind of a hassle to do that, but it's not hard, so I won't complain.
:-) It is as intuitive as it would be. What I am using them for is to
view the state of the visibility flag on multiple files. I use
NSOnState if they are all invisible, NSOffState if they are all
visible, and NSMixedState if some are, and some are not. The user can
then change the state of the files. I cannot change it to half-on,
half-of (i.e. NSMixedState), just all invisible, or all visible. Does
this make sense as an intuitive interface?
Thanks,

I have several check boxes. I need to configure them to be any of the

able to select on and off. I am able to setAllowsMixedState to YES,
and then I can set them to what I need. However, if I then change
this back to NO so that the user can only select on or off, then it
strips any mixed state that I may have set. Is there a way that I can
have the user select from just the two, while programatically still
being allowed to set any state?
Are you quite sure such a GUI is still reasonably intuitive?
Anyroad; the only colution I see offhand would be to link those
buttons to some action, which would check the state just selected and
immediately change it if it is the "forbidden" one.
