I've had my question completely ignored on two lists
Are you referring to "New to Cocoa - Action Buttons"?
I have seen your questions on both lists.
I lost interest when I read 'context-sensitive "action" button' since I
have no special experience with that type of control.
I just did read your post again and I'm still not sure what you are
talking about. I'm also not sure, what exactly your problem is.
So, I would say at least a part of the problem lies in the way you
asked your question.
I *guess* you want to implement a button like the one the finder uses
to pop up the contextual menu. As you found out yourself, there is no
ready made interface element for this. There are two approaches I can
see:
1. use a normal button (with two pictures) and display the menu using
NSMenu's +popUpContextMenu:withEvent:forView:
2. subclass NSPopUpButton to draw a different button
but so far I have to say the Apple developer community hasn't seemed
particularly welcoming.
And I have to say that this kind of reaction does not sound very
appreciative either. There's no obligation for anyone to answer your
questions.
BTW: I recommend reading this FAQ. I learned a lot from it myself (or
so I hope :}).
