I think you have made a bad assumption. The selection bindings for
NSPopupButton consist of selectedIndex, selectedObject, selectedTag,
and selectedValue. In order to support multiple selected items,
NSPopupButton would need a selectionIndexes binding.
Actually, I only wanted to select a single item in the pulldown case,
the same as what correctly happens for me in the popup case. The
problem has always been that, even though the button itself is
reporting that a particular item is "selected," none of the
underlying NSMenuItems' state is ever set to anything other than
where it was left in IB (which is typically NSOffState). And so a
check mark is never set next to the most-recently selected menu item.
I'd suggest filing an enhancement request, describing what you want
to do
and asking that the selection bindings either be documented to
return the
first selected item in the case of multiple selected items, or that
NSPopupButton expose a selectionIndexes binding.
No enhancement request needed. I'm seeing apparently inconsistent
behavior between the popup and pulldown cases. I'm certainly willing
to concede that I've goofed someplace, but if so it's not at all
obvious (and thus the questions). :)
