I have build an application using Interface Builder. While debugging, I did
something stupid in IB, I deleted the help menu item. Now the MainMenu.nib -
MainMenu no longer shows the Help menu item. However, the Help menu still
appears (and works) in the menu bar when I run the build app or run it from
PB.
Problem is, I need to add some other menu items to the Help menu but can't
do this in interface builder because I can not see the Help menu.
I tried to add the menu item programmatically, but when I enumerate the
menus using code, the Help menu is not enumerated, so I can not add submenus
by code to Help this way either.
I tried to delete the main menu instance and replace it with a new default
main menu (and re-establish connections), the interface builder shows the
help menu, but when I build the app, two help menus appear. The Apple
default help menu survives the deletion of the main menu instance,
I tried to edit the nib files in BBEdit, but could not figure out a way to
delete the Apple default Help menu.
I have numerous outlets and connections, and building a new Nib file from
scratch is not a trivial task.
Any suggestions what else I might try to (1) make the Apple default Help
menu appear in interface builder, or (2) remove all traces of the Apple
default Help menu, or (3) add an item to the Apple default Help menu in
another way?
