I only wanna see the Bottom Arrow, but if i set it via
setpullsDown(cellHandle, true ) // Text will not change
setArrowPosition(cellHandle, NSPopUpArrowAtBottom) // Text will not change
i’ll see the Arrow, but if i change the PopupMenus ListIndex nothing will happens. Why?
Two things: #1 Your NSRect struct is not 64-Bit compatible, suggest updating to “R4” and using the new CGFloat instead. #2 setPullsDown changes the function of the Popup menu, not just the display.
If you want to use a Popup menu as a selector (like an option on a form) then leave it as it is. If you want to use it as a menu for performing actions, just like the “Action” menu within a Finder window, then setPullsDown to YES.
Last but not least, the “NSTexturedRoundedBezelStyle” should only be used on a Popupmenu when it’s in the toolbar, according to the AHIG.
Hi @Sam Rowlands,
I know the OS X Human Interface Guidlines says use “NSTexturedRoundedBezelStyle” only in a Toolbar. I have a Quickedit-Bar under my Toolbar and i love to use this Style to get my App more “stylish”

Looks good mate, now I can see why’d you want it to be that style. The Quickedit-Bar is a sub toolbar, so that’s fine.
As for getting it to work like a Popupmenu, but use a Action menu style, I think you’re going to have to do some hacking to get it to look right. Maybe even create a custom control, at which point you sorta have to ask yourself is it worth it, or should I just give in an accept the uglky Popupmenus?
I really dislike the look of Popupmenus on Yosie & El Cap, mind you, I’m not a big fan of flatish interfaces for a desktop computer either.
I like it to! But If you use
