Thanks for the reply,

I'm using "new-style" nib files, and I checked and made sure that displayWhenStopped is properly set at NO.

The weird thing is this:
Say I'm on Tab #3 and I send startAnimation: to the Tab #3 progress indicator. As long as I stay on Tab #3 and not switch, the progress indicator will disappear correctly during stopAnimation:.
However, if I am on Tab #3 and I send startAnimation: to the Tab #2 progress indicator, wait for the task to finish, then switch over to Tab #2, the progress indicator will be visible (and stopped).

I have tried using NSTabView's tabView:didSelectTabViewItem: delegate method to "force" the progress indicators to disappear. Alas, nothing is working :(

Oh, quick question. What's this about "new-style" nib files being buggy?

Do you set the "displayWhenStopped:" property in IB or in code?
If you use "old-style" nib files this property will not be saved / restored at all. It might be good to set it in "awakeFromNib", or at least check that it is properly set.
Since "new-style" nib files are buggy I think I recall that the official recomendation is to set this property (as well as the "style" property) in awakeFromNib.

Here is my dilemma. I have an NSTabView control with five tabs - on each is an NSProgressIndicator. Said progress indicators are set to the spinning style and setDisplayedWhenStopped:NO.

Unfortunately, if I programmatically start one of the progress indicators on a different tab than my current one, then stop it, then flip over to that tab - it is both visible and stopped. Because of the setDisplayedWhenStopped:NO, it *should* disappear; alas, it does not.

Has anybody encountered this problem before? Does anybody know a work-around?

Hopefully, you understand what I am trying to say. Programming in Obj-C all day and then trying to switch back to English is a bit difficult ;)
