Hi,
Since the default behavior of menu enabling is "Automatic". (Please refer to http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MenuList/ Tasks/EnablingMenuItems.html)
That is, once the target of menu item implements the action of it then the menu item will be enabled.
So one thine left you have to do is:
after your code
NSMenuItem *menuItem = [IconsMenu addItemWithTitle:@"New Menu Item" action:@selector(MenuItemSelected:) keyEquivalent:@""];
[menuItem setTarget:theTarget]; // theTarget which implements method MenuItemSelected:
I think that menuItem will be enabled.
HTH,
James

I added an NSMenuItem to one of my NSMenu's using Objective-C, but I
can't figure out how to enable the menu item. Right now it's grey. I
can't figure out how to make it black and hence selectable by the user.

The code I used to add the menu item.
[IconsMenu addItemWithTitle:@"New Menu Item"
action:@selector(MenuItemSelected:) keyEquivalent:@""];

I also tried forcing it to be enabled, but since it didn't work, I
guess "enabled" is the wrong term.
[[IconsMenu itemWithTitle:@"New Menu Item"] setEnabled:true];
