I think you have made a bad assumption. The selection bindings for
NSPopupButton consist of selectedIndex, selectedObject, selectedTag,
and selectedValue. In order to support multiple selected items,
NSPopupButton would need a selectionIndexes binding.
Actually, I only wanted to select a single item in the pulldown
case, the same as what correctly happens for me in the popup case.
The problem has always been that, even though the button itself is
reporting that a particular item is "selected," none of the
underlying NSMenuItems' state is ever set to anything other than
where it was left in IB (which is typically NSOffState). And so a
check mark is never set next to the most-recently selected menu item.
Hi Steve,
Pull-down popups are used for commands, like a context menu, and
therefore pull-down popups do not change the state of the selected
item. This is by design, since the commands are assumed to be
stateless.
If you want to change the state of the menu item, you can do so
manually, but you might consider using a regular popup button or a
different control entirely. A pull-down popup that acts like a matrix
of radio buttons is a departure from Apple's HIG.
