For custom drawing like you want, you will have to override both NSButton and NSButtonCell, and you have to specify the new NSButtonCell class by overriding the cellClass method inyour NSButton's subclass. You'll actually do your drawing in the drawWithFrame: method. It is not a simple process and you'd be better off sticking with the standard buttons if you can, both in terms of amount of work and in terms of conforming to the HIG.

If you google "NSButtonCell subclass" you should find some examples, though I didn't see any that looked exactly like what you want to do.

Hi,

I need guidance for a problem. I want to make custom
shaped buttons (based on images) in my GUI.

By assigning image and alternate image in IB it
displays the image but the shape of the button is not
exactly as the image. I want to make the button of
exact shape as that of the image.

For that i am trying to subclass NSButton. I have
created the subclass and assigned it to my buttons,
but i have no idea what functions to
implement/overwrite in the subclass to change the
shape of the button and assign the image as the button
shape.


Also please tell me that is this the right way
(subclassing NSButton) to do what i am trying to do ?

Thank you
