Yes, setting the target fixes this problem. Thanks to all who answered.

What really gets me is that I use this code in another place to build a different menu, and THOSE items are enabled.

I'm doing something wrong, I just know it.

The menu items won't enable. I'm not setting a target for the menu
item, only a selector. Is this possibly the problem?

Yup thats the problem. Seems silly, but you do have to set the target.


The code I'm using is shown below:

	NSMenu *theMenuBar = [NSApp mainMenu];
	NSMenuItem *theView = [theMenuBar itemWithTitle:@"MyMenu"];
	NSMenu *myMenu = [theView submenu];

	for (int i = 0; i< [inData count]; i++)
	{
		NSDictionary *d = [inData objectAtIndex:i];
		NSMenuItem *item = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:[d
objectForKey:@"Name"] action:@selector(somethingWasChoosen:)
keyEquivalent:@""];
		[item setTag:[[d objectForKey:@"Code"] intValue]];
		[myMenu addItem:item];
	}


and later somethingWasChoosen is defined as:

- (IBAction) somethingWasChoosen:(id)sender
{
}
