Hey cool! After sending that post, I tried to implement it and
failed. Thanks for the list of steps.

Thanks Ron,
That worked like a charm. Here were the steps:
- setAutoenabledItems to NO for the menu
- setEnabled to NO for the header items
- setAttributedTitle using [NSColor blackColor] for the header items
It's unfortunate that there isn't a simpler way to do this (like a
single call to an NSMenuItem). I tried subclassing NSMenuItem and
making the custom class return YES for the isSeparatorItem but that
also makes the cell only a few pixels high and doesn't draw the
title string.
Thanks again.

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.

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?
