Hi,
I have figured out how to set the search menu template for the recent
searches menu associated with a search field. But, I have some
separators that I'd like to disappear when the user clears the recents
and the menu displays the "no recents" menu item. I can't figure out
how to get notified that the recents have been cleared, or added to.
NSSearchField or *Cell, doesn't seem to have any delegate methods
other than those inherited from text fields and it doesn't post any
notifications.
So, my question: How can I get notified when the recents change? Can
I use the defaults system notifcations? Hmmm, maybe yeah. (note to
self: try that). My more general question is this: is there a way to
watch messages and notifications going back and forth in the runtime so
even if something isn't documented you can see what's happening? For
example, NSSearchField (or Cell) must be setting the actions of it's
menu items that it populated from the template. But what are those
actions? I'd like to know how to know.
Thanks.
John Clayton
