I was aware of the documentation, and you appear to have it backwards: NSMomentaryLightButton While the button is held down it’s shown as “lit,” and also “pushed in” to the screen if the button is bordered. NSMomentaryPushInButton While the button is held down it’s shown as “lit.” Nonetheless, one would expect that NSMomentaryPushInButton would also be pushed in, given its name. And as I said, there seems to be no difference in behavior. -Jeff _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
