The second paragraph

The setState: message affects the appearance of two-state toggled
controls, such as a switch button. With an argument of YES, the check
mark appears; with an argument of NO, the check mark is removed.

However, when you look at example 10-5 you will see the following:

[[englishSpokenSwitch setState:NSOffState];

When you look at the description of NSButton, the type of
englishSpokenSwitch, you will find the following:

setState:

- - (void)setState:(int)value

Sets the cell's state to value, which can be NSOnState, NSOffState, or
NSMixedState. If necessary, this method also redraws the receiver.

The cell can have two or three states. If it has two, value can be
NSOffState (the normal or unpressed state) and NSOnState (the alternate
or pressed state). If it has three, value can be NSOnState (the feature
is in effect everywhere), NSOffState (the feature is in effect nowhere),
or NSMixedState (the feature is in effect somewhere). Note that if the
cell has only two states and value is NSMixedState, this method sets the
cell's state to NSOnState.

Although using the enumerated constants is preferred, value can also be
an integer. If the cell has two states, zero is treated as NSOffState,
and a non-zero value is treated as NSOnState. If the cell has three
states, zero is treated as NSOffState; a negative value, as
NSMixedState; and a positive value, as NSOnState.

To check whether the button uses the mixed state, use the method
allowsMixedState.

This means that example 10-5 is right and the explanation on page 205 is
wrong.

On this page, add a new section called "Implement

mainWindowResigned:". The description can be almost exactly the same as
the section for "Implement mainWindowChanged:".

The method implementation is:

- (void)mainWindowResigned:(NSNotification *)notification
{[self setMainWindow:nil];}

These two changes cause the Info window to update when there is no Main window.
