Questions tagged [nssegmentedcontrol]

An NSSegmentedControl object implements a linear set of two or more segments, each of which functions as a button. It is available in OS X v10.3 and later. It is declared in Apple's AppKit framework

The NSSegmentedControl class uses an NSSegmentedCell class to implement much of the control's functionality. Most methods in NSSegmentedControl are simply cover methods that call the corresponding method in NSSegmentedCell.

The methods of NSSegmentedCell that do not have covers relate to accessing and setting values for tags and tool tips, programmatically setting the key segment, and establishing the mode of the control.
