Neither of these docs are necessarily relevant, as it may not be a function of the cell that determines its look. In fact, it is most likely the button that makes the decision. > Changing the instantiation code to this makes no difference: > _Cancel = [[NSButton alloc]init]; > [_Cancel setFrame:theButtonFrame]; > [_Cancel setNeedsDisplay:YES]; > > So my questions are: > (0) Is the fact that initWithFrame does not set the currentControlTint a bug > (and hence worth a bug report)? Why would it? There are a other factors that may effect the tint, and on top of that, the NSControlTint value of 0 is "NSDefaultControlTint" which would likely be the appropriate value if there is no other determinate condition. > (1) It is not in the list of Designated Initializers - should it be? What you quote above is NSCell's designated initializers, and the class has no direct relationship with NSButton other than both being subclasses of NSObject. > (2) Other than sub-classing NSCellInit and NSButton what other code way can I > set the controlTint for the Button? If you need something other than the default, I imagine you are expected to set it yourself. You could always make a generic NSButton subclass that you can use in Interface Builder to see how various attributes are set. HTH, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
