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 :}).
