Custom NSMenuItems on the fly?


  • Subject: Custom NSMenuItems on the fly?

I'd like to use menu:updateItem:atIndex:shouldContinue: to build a volatile menu on the fly (Yes, I know, changing menus are generally bad. In this case it's appropriate.), but I'd also like to use a custom subclass of NSMenuItem for the actual items. This _seems_ to work fine if within my method I remove the provided item from the menu and insert a new one at the same index. The problem I run into is that even though I set the target and action for that newly- created menu item, it the target never gets the opportunity to validate the menu item (and as a result those items are permanently disabled). The validation method _is_ invoked for one menu item that I don't try to replace.

Is there a better way to specify the class of the items I want, or is there a way to ensure validation happens?

Greg
