Yup. My reply was in regards to the HIG. As I quoted, Eric said "It seems strange that the HIG would say this is ok, but then have the NSBox API not support it". The reason for that, I suspect, is that the other major GUI API, Carbon, does/did support this "in one step", as you say. >> You could maybe make a custom NSView that uses HITheme APIs to draw. >> Perhaps HIThemeDrawGroupBox() is the right one... > >And re-implement the entirety of NSPopUpButton… at which point you >might as well have used NSPopUpButtonCell. Yup. Just giving the OP options... There might be something useful in the .h around HIThemeDrawGroupBox(). Sean
