I am using a pull-down NSPopUpButton for a little button which displays a little menu. The menu has some commands in it, i.e. it's not a selection menu, the title of the button just displays an icon, no title, no indication of a current item from the menu. I am calling (ahem, sending) setUsesItemFromMenu:NO on (to) the cell.

It appears that with pull-down menus I need to insert a dummy item at index zero as my NSPopUpButton as a placeholder, and that NSPopUpButton/Cell (when in pull-down mode) will handily ignore this item.

This seems like a weird hack, and makes me think I'm going about this the wrong way - is this a normal approach?

The documentation mentions that the index of the first item in a pull- down should be 1, but it doesn't explain that you need to add a dummy item (for the zeroth) or else your first item will go missing.

thanks
Rua HM.
