Keep in mind that buttons have *two* kinds of graying these days. One indicates that the button is disabled. The other indicates that the button is in an inactive window and does not accept mouse clicks until the window has first been made active (thus preventing an inadvertent click on a non-front window’s controls). Typically, buttons in inactive windows *do* accept mouse clicks, and retain their ungrayed appearance, which is why the appearance doesn’t change when one of your windows is inactive. Buttons in IB are really just graphic elements (clicking them selects them rather than performing an IBAction), so IB gets to draw them in inactive windows however it wants. Perhaps it’s intentionally indicating there’s no click-through behavior in this case, or perhaps it’s just a quirk of IB that it draws things grayed out. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
