nsmenu

I have a NSMenu with dynamically added NSMenuItems. The NSMenu is not refreshing properly while it's kept open. I am calling NSMenu update method in NSEventTrackingRunLoopModes . I have implemented following methods to update NSMenu. - (void)menuNeedsUpdate:(NSMenu *)menu { for (NSInteger index = 0; index < count; index++) [self menu:menu updateItem:[menu itemAtIndex:index] atIndex:index shouldCancel:NO]; } - (BOOL)menu:(NSMenu *)menu updateItem:(NSMenuItem *)item atIndex:(NSInteger)index shouldCancel:(BOOL)shouldCancel` - (NSInteger)numberOfItemsInMenu:(NSMenu *)menu I am dynamically

I have some submenu inserted as Window item submenu of Main Menu I have an instance of my object (let's assume its class name is MenuController) inherited from NSObject and supports 2 from NSMenuDelegate methods: – numberOfItemsInMenu: – menu:updateItem:atIndex:shouldCancel: This instance added as Blue-Object into NIB for awaking at runtime Object from steps 2-3 configured as delegate for submenu (step 1) Now, I can provide submenu content in runtime. Next, I do following: I can add new items or remove old from an array (inside MenuController which contains menu titles) that mapped to real

I'm want to create a menu for a status bar item like the one seen in Tapbot's PastebotSync application: Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve the custom area at the top of the menu which is flush with the top? I've tried/thought of a few potential ways of doing it: Standard NSMenuItem with a view - isn't flush with the top of the menu Some hack-ish code to place an NSWindow over the area at the top of the menu - not great as it doesn't fade out nicely with the menu when it closes Abandoning an NSMenu entirely and using an NSView instead - haven't tried this yet but I don't really want to

I've got a statusbar item that pops open an NSMenu, and I have a delegate set and it's hooked up correctly ( -(void)menuNeedsUpdate:(NSMenu *)menu works fine). That said, that method is setup to be called before the menu is displayed, I need to listen for that and trigger an asynchronous request, later updating the menu while it is open, and I can't figure out how that's supposed to be done. Thanks :) EDIT Ok, I'm now here: When you click on the menu item (in the status bar), a selector is called that runs an NSTask. I use the notification center to listen for when that task is finished, and

I am using the setView: method on an NSMenuItem to set a custom view. In this custom view there is an image which takes the whole of the view. The NSMenuItem with this custom view is the first in the menu but the problem is it doesn't sit flush with the top of the menu, there is a big gap as you can see here: Why is this happening and how can I stop it? EDIT I am using this code now but I am getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS on the line InstallControlEventHandler . -(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification { HIViewRef contentView; MenuRef menuRef = [statusMenu carbonMenuRef];
