Hi,

I was wondering how I can create a little triangle which when clicked displays a little menu. I am invisioning it like the little triangle in OmniWeb's URL field at the top. NSComboBox almost does this if you get rid of the border, but it still has that blue around the triangle.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in Advance!

OmniWeb's URL field isn't an NSComboBox -- it's an NSTextField and an NSPopUpButton. The latter element is set to be borderless and layered below the textfield, so all that draws from it is the triangle.

We've got a bug or two with this approach, though, such as not working very will with Full Keyboard Access -- if you're going to do something similar, I suggest writing the extra code to make sure keyboard focus travels from control to control properly and is clearly visible to the user.
