My unsolicited advice: Don't use a popup menu; embed the table view in a palette. Popup menus with multiple controls in them are not a standard UI component, and are likely to generate significant user confusion. (Doubly so when there's two levels of checked-ness involved.)


I just thought a bit about the usage of controls in menus.

apple gives a example of how to use it: http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/MenuItemView/index.html
this breaks the click-drag-release behavior

and another example is the color-label selection in Finder. And this is useable with click-drag-release.

So if I find a way (and I think I have) to allow click-drag-release usage, then I should not confuse my users to much.

Georg
