Another way to do this is to implement the NSMenu delegate methods:
- menuWillOpen:
- menuDidClose:
You would then set the highlighted variable there. I think it'll make
the code easier to read. You need to set the menu's delegate for this
to work (obviously).

I'm making an NSStatusItem with a custom view. In drawRect:, it
draws things based on the value of the "highlighted" instance
variable. When mouseDown: is called, it pops up a menu using the
status item's popUpStatusItemMenu: method. Using the mouseUp: event
does not work, because it is not called after the menu goes away.
This is the way I've found that makes it work:
- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
highlighted = YES;
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[statusItem popUpStatusItemMenu:menu];
highlighted = NO;
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[super mouseDown:theEvent];
}
Is this a good method, or is there something better that involves
mouseUp:?
