I don't have anything to install at the moment, so I cannot check exactly what you mean. If you simply want a list of how far you have gotten with a multi-step process, you do not need any NSButton because such a list does not need to be clickable (at least I never tried to click on that list in Installer). It may be quite simple to make such a list by using a header-less, background-less NSTableView or just an NSMatrix where you draw the "button" with a tiff image in one column, and the text in another.

Best, Patrick

In the Installer, there's a how-far-you've-gotten set of progress controls on the left side. They look like radio controls (small radio controls with regular radio control text, without the "selected" dot, and with different colors), but they don't work like them. Similarly, /System/Library/CoreServices/Network Diagnostics has a similar, but slightly different set of radio-like controls.

I've been thinking about how to do this with the standard IB controls, but I haven't come up with a good idea yet. Is there some happy configuration of NSButton (or some child) that is this effect? Do I have to split up the text and the button? Or do I get to roll my own control? I'm looking to emulate the Installer version rather than the Network Diagnostics version, but either would be handy to know about.

Sorry if this is obvious, but I didn't see it yet.
