Members| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| NSMomentaryLightButton | While the button is held down it’s shown as “lit,” and also “pushed in” to the screen if the button is bordered. This type of button is best for simply triggering actions, as it doesn’t show its state; it always displays its normal image or title. This option is called “Momentary Light” in Interface Builder’s Button Inspector. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSPushOnPushOffButton | The first click both highlights and causes the button to be “pushed in” if the button is bordered; a second click returns it to its normal state. This option is called “Push On Push Off” in Interface Builder’s Button Inspector. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSToggleButton | After the first click, the button displays its alternate image or title; a second click returns the button to its normal state. This option is called “Toggle” in Interface Builder’s Button Inspector. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSSwitchButton | This style is a variant of NSToggleButton that has no border and is used to represent a checkbox. This type of button is available as a separate Library item in Interface Builder. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSRadioButton | This style is similar to NSSwitchButton, but it used to constrain a selection to a single element from several. You typically use this type of button in a group formed by an instance of NSMatrix. In Interface Builder, a matrix of this type of button is available as a separate Library item. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSMomentaryChangeButton | While the button is held down, the alternate image and alternate title are displayed. The normal image and title are displayed when the button isn’t pressed. This option is called “Momentary Change” in Interface Builder’s Button Inspector. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSOnOffButton | The first click highlights the button; a second click returns it to the normal (unhighlighted) state. This option is called “On Off” in Interface Builder’s Button Inspector. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSMomentaryPushInButton | While the button is held down it’s shown as “lit.” This type of button is best for simply triggering actions, as it doesn’t show its state; it always displays its normal image or title. This option is called “Momentary Push In” in Interface Builder’s Button Inspector. This button type is the default. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
