Multiple menu items can be on or off at the same time. Think of it
more like a checkbox than a radio button. So if you want them to
turn off, you'll need to scan the menu first and turn every item off,
then turn your one item on.
When I made custom search categories in Notae, I instead opted to
simply set the placeholder text of the search field to the title of
the selected menu item rather than add a checkmark to the menu. It's
easier, and when the user has moved on to another area and is coming
back to search, it's a quick reminder of what it's set to without
needing to pull the menu down.

Hi list,
I would to add a categories menu (ex: search for Subject, Body or ...)
in my NSSearchField. I've successfully set the menu but there is a
problem if I try to set a menuitem to state:NSOffState.
When I select a menu it should be to turn off the previous selected
category. This is the code:
- (IBAction) menu_selectNewFilter:(id) sender {
NSMenuItem *m = [searchMenu itemWithTag: selectedFilter];
[m setState: NSOffState];
NSLog(@"Disabled %@ %d",[m title],[m tag]);
NSLog(@"Activate %@ %d",[sender title],[sender tag]);
[sender setState: NSOnState];
selectedFilter = [sender tag];
}
It works for ONState but the previous item state will never change
(I've also tried to take a look at the debugger and, in fact the state
of NSOffState menuitem is 0...but the checkmark icon still here!).
Is there a problem with this class or is it a problem of mine?
