How about -setAttributedTitle:

From the docs:
	Specifies a custom string for a menu item.

	- (void)setAttributedTitle:(NSAttributedString *)string

	Parameters

	string
	An attributed string to use as the receiver's title.

	Discussion

You can use this method to add styled text and embedded images to menu item strings. If you do not set a text color for the attributed string, it is black when not selected, white when selected, and gray when disabled. ***Colored text remains unchanged when selected.***

Note the marked text at the end. I've not tried it but it looks promising.

Not exactly. I don't want it greyed out -- just want it not to be selectable. I suppose I could subclass to get the same effect...but am hoping not to have to go that route.

BTW-- It's only greyed out if implement the validateUserInterfaceItem function.

I have a menu in an nspopupbutton with several sections (there are heading items) at various locations. I want to prevent these items from being selectable, similarly to separator items. Can somebody point me to a solution? The only alternative I see is to create a custom subclass.

Thanks,
Greg

This works for me:

NSMenuItem *menuItem = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Whatever" action:NULL keyEquivalent:@""];

You get a greyed-out menu item that doesn't do anything. Is that what you were after?
