Re: [bugs #8404] when using asubclass of NSButton in gorm, initWithFrame in the subclass is not called

[Gregory John Casamento]

Rob,

You need to override the "cellClass" method in your subclass so that the button
will initialize itself correctly.  This, I believe, is the accepted way of
doing this.

We should check current docs to make sure of this, the docs you have, from what
you told me, are somewhat dated.

Also, if this works as Markus is describing on MOSX, it should likely stay the
way it is.
