To expand on my previous question, I'm trying to hold the mouse down on my selection and drag the image associated with the selected NSMenuItem onto an NSView. Hence why I need a way to figure out which menu item was selected, and I also need a way to stop the menu selection process after the mouse clicks down, but before it clicks up.

The item selection doesn't happen until after the mouse is released (click the mouse on the menu title, drag down until you get the item you want, and then let go of the mouse - and only then is the item selected and it's action sent). And with keyboard navigation, the mouse may not even be pressed at all.

If it can't be done, oh well. I might just allow the user to select from the list and then click in the NSView to drop it. Either way, I still need to know the selected menu item.

Why not just make a floating palette with an NSMatrix that you can drag items/objects/images from and drop on your canvas (I'm assuming you are trying to make something that behaves similar to the way you build a UI in IB - if you're not, never mind).
