I want to add items to my NSPopUpButton with an array. This is the reason why I decided
to use addItemsWithTitles. I'm not sure exactly what exactly needs to be the items in the array.

addItemWithTitle: uses an argument of NSString *. Does the array need to be an array of NSString *. My array is actually an array of a class with the following instance varialbes

NSString *categoryDescription;
NSMutableArray *categoryRoles;

I want the NSPopButton to use the categoryDescription as the titles displayed.

I tried using addItemsWithTitles:categoryArray
and got Category isEqualToString: selector not recognized..
Can I not use the said method with an array of a class of mine..

What I want to accomplish is that when the user selects the NSPopUpButton, I then display is an NSTableView the categoryRoles.

Thanks.

Yes, the array must be of NSStrings.

you probably could use an array of your own class, as long as your own class implemented enough of the NSString methods...

If you'd like the convenience of being able to pass an array of your model objects to an NSPopUpButton, take a look at our categories in the open source OmniAppKit framework. We have a couple of methods for doing just that -- your model objects just need a title method, and that's that. Quite useful in EOF apps, among other things...
