That would be great functionality that I have often desired but AFAICT that is not the case--at least I am unable to replicate it. Or do you mean multiple radio-type NSButtonCells in a single view? That would make sense but only NSMatrix has that functionality built-in, AFAIK. I suspect this is really a code or binding issue. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
