Subclass NSButton and override the -initWithCoder: method. After calling super's implementation, replace the cell with one of your custom class.

Hi Trygve,

I don't you should override -value or anything like that. NSOnState
and NSOffState should do fine.

You should draw your pressed art if and only if -isHighlighted is true.

It's probably appropriate to subclass NSButtonCell for this and draw
what you like. In IB3, you can select the cell from a button and
choose a custom subclass.

Concerning what to override, -drawWithFrame:inView: is the top level
drawing method for cells, the analog of -drawRect:. -
drawBezelWithFrame:inView: is called from -drawWithFrame:inView:, and
is used to draw the part of a button that interior text and images sit
on. This the glassy looking part of a standard aqua push button, for
example. Finally, -drawInteriorWithFrame:inView: is also called from -
drawWithFrame:inView:, and this method draws the text and/or images
that sit on top of the bezel.

How is best to do this in Tiger with IB2?
