An NSButton with two combined images (Cocoa OSX)

I want to make a type of popupbutton sort of like the action button on OSX. I need to make the button have two images makeup the representation of the button (the icon for the button and the downward facing disclosure triangle next to it). I was thinking maybe I could add the second image as a subview of the button but it seems that there should be a simpler way to do this. Any ideas?

Solution

  • Make an NSPopUpButton whose pullsDown is set to YES (Type of “Pull Down” in IB) and whose image is set to the image named NSImageNameActionTemplate (“NSActionTemplate” in IB).
