Re: adding new NSButtons to an application "on the fly"

Well buttons are fairly simple objects. You can create as many as you 
like:

-[NSButton initWithFrame:]

and add them to a window

[[myWindow contentView] addSubview:button]

Alternatively, you could use an NSMatrix of NSButtonCells to do the job.
