I have a NSPopupButton. What I need is that each item has a checkbox in front of its label. The menu needs to be selectable like with any normal NSPupupButton but when I click the checkbox it should just check the box but should not change the selection.

This sounds like a really nonintuitive UI. A lot of users manipulate menus by clicking and dragging, so releasing the mouse to click a checkbox would dismiss the menu.

Is there any reason you don't want to simply check/uncheck items in the menu? This is a much more common interface paradigm which users which will be much more familiar with. See NSMenuItem's setState: method for how to do this. _______________________________________________
