And indeed how do you programatically close it, which is what I would like 
to do.

To open it, I'm guessing you might work out where the button is and post a 
mousedown / mouse up event pair with those coordinates.  A little clunky 
perhaps but it sounds like it ought to work.  Alternatively, send a 
mouseDown and then a mouseUp to the button directly.  A superview can 
enumerate its subviews so you should be able to track it down.

And hello to all at Cocoa-Dev, my first post.  Coming as I do from the 
Windows world I am finding learning Cocoa both educational and fascinating. 
Makes Win32 (and Windows Forms) look positively stoneage.  I'm just worried 
I might wear out the square bracket keys on my keyboard :)

And a question: is there a utility, similar to Spy++ under windows, Which 
can show you the window and view hierarchy of a running app?  I find Spy++ 
extremely useful on occasion when doing Windows development.

Regards,

Paul Sanders.

Subject: Programmatically opening an NSComboBox list


Have trawled the archives and can find only a suggestion to do a
performClick on the combo ( which fails )  or an undocumented method.

I notice from the docs that the button and text field are encapsulated
in an NSComboBoxCell.  Have checked the cell docs - can't see any
means to get to the button.

I also can see no means to get to it via the NSControl subclass.

Any help / suggestions appreciated.
