Re: [actionstep-core] Customised Buttons

[Ewan M. <mr...@mr...>]

Great,

thanks for the advice, now all I need is a NSBezierPath to draw my  
shape and check if it contains the currentPoint ( of the mouse). I'll  
create a stub and implement the functions I need immediately, then  
after I've finished writing my app I can implement it fully. Has  
anybody started work on this yet?

Cheers,

Ewan
