I basic problem is that NSPopupButton does not support submenus. You can get the submenu item title to appear when the menu is dismissed but the side effect is that the item will be added to the top menu. I didn't go any further with that approach. It is too bad, because I would argue that there are good use cases for hierarchical menus in popup buttons. I don't have any real solutions, however, although I can suggest that you could "hide" the side effect with a "recents" section of the menu. Otherwise you will have to subclass NSPopupButtonCell and take over title and menu handling, AFAICT. HTH, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
