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]; }
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.
I'm not attaching the menu as a sub-menu of some other menu, I am
attaching it as the context menu to each of a set of views. In this
mode the menu's supermenu is always nil.
