Hi,

I have subclassed NSCell to create a custom control, but I have two questions:

- As I implement my own - (void)drawInteriorWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame inView:(NSView *)controlView, do I have to drawn the title of the control myself, or is there a way for it to be drown for me?

If you subclassed a plain NSCell, I think you can just do

[super drawInteriorWithFrame:cellFrame inView:controlView]

to get NSCell to draw it for you. Obviously you need to decide when to call that method.

That works, even is the text is not centered, but that is a small detail.


- I would like to have a menu appear when I click on the custom control, but without pressing the control key. Is it possible?

It sounds like you should probably subclass NSPopUpButtonCell. In fact, are you sure your control can't be implemented as a standard pop-up button?

Actually it could, if I can change the drawing... which seems not easy to do. NSPopUpButtonCell doesn't really fit where I want it to be. That's why I am trying to make my own control cell. But if you have a way to make a control with another style that let a menu pop-up when you click on it, I take it ;-)
