Thanks Sean. And pull downs have slightly different functionality too, which is not what I wanted (just the down arrow looked neater in the context of what I am using). (Wish Apple would also have this information in their reference docs.)

I have a popup menu item with 9 items. If I set the pullsDown property to YES I only get 8 items, whereas 9 items display if it is NO. (Same behaviour if it is set in IB.) I'm on Tiger 10.4.10. Does something else need to be set for a pull down menu? This is certainly breaking the principle of least surprise! Both NSPopUpButton and NSPopUpButtonCell exhibit this behaviour.

Hey Ian,

It seems like the menu item indexing of pull-down style lists could be the cause of your trouble:

"Note that in a pull-down list, the first item is stored at index 1, not index 0 as is the case with pop-up lists or ordinary menus. This is done so that the pull-down list’s title can be stored at index 0 if necessary. Even when the title is stored at index 0, always change the buttons title with the setTitle: method."

See <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ MenuList/Articles/ManagingPopUpItems.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/ 20000274-DontLinkElementID_4> for more info.
