I wanted to make one of the main menus be an icon (like the "Script"
icon in many applications). I tried to due using Apple sample code
(MenuItemView) and I can insert image in items, but not in the
MenuItem used for the title. How is that done?
Here is the code. The first section creates item for the menu bar
and adds it to the main menu. The second section adds one item to
the menu. The image works for the item in the menu, but not for the
display in the menu bar:
// create new menu from scratch trying to use an image
NSMenuItem* newItem = [[NSMenuItem allocWithZone:[NSMenu
menuZone]] initWithTitle:@"Custom Menu" action:NULL
keyEquivalent:@""];
NSMenu* newMenu = [[NSMenu allocWithZone:[NSMenu menuZone]]
initWithTitle:@"Custom"];
[newItem setEnabled:YES];
NSImageView *menuImage=[[NSImageView alloc]
initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0.,0.,16.,16.)];
[menuImage setImage:[[NSImage imageNamed:@"bar_image.tiff"]
retain]];
[newItem setView: menuImage];
[newItem setSubmenu:newMenu];
[newMenu release];
[[NSApp mainMenu] insertItem:newItem atIndex:[[NSApp mainMenu]
numberOfItems]-1];
[newItem release];
// insert image in the first item in the menu
newItem = [[NSMenuItem allocWithZone:[NSMenu menuZone]]
initWithTitle:@"Custom Item 1" action:@selector(menuItem1Action:)
keyEquivalent:@""];
[newItem setEnabled:YES];
menuImage=[[NSImageView alloc]
initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0.,0.,32.,32.)];
[menuImage setImage:[[NSImage imageNamed:@"item_image.tiff"]
retain]];
[newItem setView: menuImage];
[newItem setTarget:self];
[newMenu addItem:newItem];
[newItem release];

Hi John,
I've done this (on Tiger, still works in Leopard). The only real
difference I can see in your code is that you use an NSImageView to
contain the image. The relevant parts of my code:
- (BOOL)addScriptMenu
{
BOOL success = NO;
NSMenuItem *newItem;
NSString *title = nil;
NSImage *scriptImage = [NSImage imageNamed:@"scripticon"];
if (!scriptImage)
{
title = @"Scripts";
//NSLog(@"scripticon.tiff not found.");
}
else
title = @"";
// Make the menu
newItem = [[NSMenuItem allocWithZone:[NSMenu menuZone]]
initWithTitle:title action:NULL keyEquivalent:@""];
[newItem setImage:scriptImage];
[newItem setTag:SCRIPTMENUTAG];
scriptMenu = [[NSMenu allocWithZone:[NSMenu menuZone]]
initWithTitle:title];
[newItem setSubmenu:scriptMenu];
// Add the menu and it's submenu to the app's main menu
[[NSApp mainMenu] insertItem:newItem atIndex:insertionIndex];
[newItem release];
// Recursively fills menus with script files or script app files in
all subdirectories
// of the Scripts menu folder.
[self fillMenu:scriptMenu withDirectory:scriptsFolderPath];
if (scriptMenu)
success = YES;
return success;
}
HTH,
Ron
