Colorful buttons of different shapes

[Abhijeet Singh]

Hi,I am porting my Win32 application to Mac. I am new to Cocoa. In my Windows 
Win32 application I have a window in that there is a 3 X 8 matrix of 24 
buttons. Buttons are labeled as 124. Each button has 3 states. Unused Round 
shape green color(Default state) SelectedSquare shape orange color (User 
selects a button)UsedRound Shape red color (User save the selection by clicking 
Save button)In Win32 application I use owner drawn buttons to draw button of 
different color and shape.I'd be glad if someone could suggest me which control 
should i use in Cocoa to achieve the same effect.Should I use NSMatrix of 
buttons? If yes than how can i set color and shape of buttons?Thanks

It would be a straightforward solution.

You'd probably need a NSButtonCell subclass. Drawing alternative appearances is 
pretty easy that only needs one or two overrides.
