Lets say I have two images named ButtonUp and ButtonDown..

How would I subclass NSButton so that it uses the ButtonUp image when not pressed.. and shows the ButtonDown image when pressed?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help :)

Do you actually need to subclass. Can't you actually do this all in IB? I've not needed to do this buy my first guess would be use a rounded bevel button, change it's behavoir to Push On/Push Off and mess about with Icon and Alt. Icon in the inspector

Of course as I've never done this I could be totally wrong....:rolleyes:

Click to expand...

Just did it. Set one image as the Icon, the second image as the Alt Icon, set the button behavior as "toggle". Where is the problem?

i had it set to "Momentary Push In" and it should be "Momentary Change" for it to use the alt. icon...
