I don't think NSPopUpButton will accept key events if the menu is not active, although once the menu is active, it will accept key events, but you could probably embed your NSPopUpButton control in a custom control that does take key events and then filter those into choosing an item in the menu. At least that's pretty much how I did it for a Carbon-based application years ago.
If you decide to try it, just imagine how much fun you're going to have getting past that newbie phase!!!! ;-) Of course, someone might have already done that and released the source code, so try a search on "NSPopUpButton" and a number of the different key-based messages, such as keyDown. >Hi Guru dudes,I am working on a simple application where I want to get a >list from a file out of a file.
