Change Button Border Properties on IBAction

Question

Why does this allow me to change the bordered state but not the border width (or other border properties)?

NSButton *button = (NSButton *)sender;
[button setBordered:false];
[button setBorderWidth:5];

The buttons do not have a borderWidth Property! Stupid. – Charlie Egan Jul 08 '12 at 20:47 — Charlie Egan, Jul 08 '12 at 20:47

The setBorderWidth: method does not exists, check the NSButton Class Reference.
In other words, NSButton does not support changing the border width (by default).
The setBordered: method defines wether the button has a bezeled border.
Setting setBordered: to false removes the complete bezel, for example:

With Bezel Without Bezel

The setBordered: method might be confusing therefor.
