How can I simulate the menu-title blink effect using Cocoa? In
Carbon, it's FlashMenuBar(menuID) but I don't see a Cocoa equivalent.
NSMenuView's -performActionWithHighlightingForItemAtIndex:?
(Never used it, just looked it up...)
This is at the top of the file:
Note: NSMenuView is deprecated and is no longer used to draw menus.
Calling its methods will not affect the appearance of your menus.
I don't think this will work. Actually I don't think there is even a
way to get a valid NSMenuView* at all.
For the curious, I tried the next best thing—NSMenu's
-performActionForItemAtIndex: —and this API does not appear to simulate
the menu blink, although it arguably should.
