A menu can only belong to one supermenu.
If you want a menu to belong to more than one supermenu then you will have to copy it.


@implementation NSMenu ( myAdditions )

-(id) supermenuItem; {
// determine the item from the supermenu which uses this menu as the submenu
NSMenuItem * zItem; NSEnumerator * eItems = [[[self supermenu] itemArray] objectEnumerator];
while ( zItem = [eItems nextObject] )
if ( [zItem submenu] == self ) return zItem;
return nil;
}


@end

Cocoa People,

I have an application in which there is a number of UI objects which require the same context menu. These items get a 'default case' context menu which just allows the user to get actions like extended help for the object under the menu. Many of these objects are just NSButtons and the like, without any class customisation. I have the common context menu in my .nib file and I can connect it to the 'menu' outlet of each UI item without any problem. The problem that then arises is that when a menu action is triggered I can't seem to find out the context of the context menu. The action sender is the menu item, and I can find it's parent NSMenu, but not from where that menu was raised.

So, is there some way that I've not found to determine which view was responsible for raising a context menu, or am I going to have to subclass every standard UI item I use just so that I can bolt in a -menuForEvent: method that says { menuContext = self; return [self menu]; }

	Cheers,
		Nicko
