I'm pretty certain there is no proper API for disabling the Save button. But the delegate methods will allow you to stop the button from taking effect (weird I know). I suggest you do an NSBeep() at the same time to at least give some feedback as to why the panel couldn't close.

I haven't tried myself, but just checking the headers it looks like the closest thing would be to make your controlling class the delegate and then implement either

- (BOOL)panel:(id)sender isValidFilename:(NSString *)filename;

or

- (NSString *)panel:(id)sender userEnteredFilename:(NSString *)filename confirmed:(BOOL)okFlag;

since they control whether to allow the selection process to complete. The docs for these methods have more details that might help you decide which would be better.

I'm extending NSSavePanel by using an accessory view. The view contains two NSSecureTextFields, to contain the user-typed password and confirmation.

I know how to detect when the two password fields don't have identical content, to display a warning string on the dialog, and to prevent the user from exiting the dialog.

But I'd also like to disable the <Save> button. Is it possible?
