Re: Programatically creating a checkbox

Hey John -

To configure an NSButton as a checkbox, set the buttonType with -
[NSButtonCell setButtonType:] to NSSwitchButton, then set the 
bezelStyle to to NSRegularSquareBezelStyle with -[NSButtonCell 
setBezelStyle:]. You'll probably also want to set the imagePosition to 
NSImageLeft.

Good Luck -
