I am having trouble changing a menu item from IBAction to Bindings.
The purpose of the menu item is to show/hide a NSPanel. The menu
item should change its title accordingly. My bindings code correctly
displays the initial menu item title, but the menu item is grayed- out.


Apple's Enabling Menu Items docs says, "NSMenu searches the
appropriate objects to find one that responds to the menu item‚s
action method. If it can‚t find such an object, it disables the menu
item."  My object doesn't have an IBAction method, since I'm using
bindings.

An NSMenuItem doesn't have target/argument bindings, so you're still going
to have to give it a target and an action. You can then enable the menu item
by binding its Enabled to something in that target, if you don't want to use
validateMenuItem. m.
