Set focus on NSView in an NSMenuItem

Hi everyone,

I got another question regarding the new setView method in Leopard.
Let's assume I set the view for an NSMenuItem to myView. myView contains an NSTextField. Now when I open the NSMenu I want to set the focus on this textfield, so the user can directly enter some text without having to click on the control first (like it works in the spotlight menu). How can I achieve that? I know how to call keyOrderAndFront and setFirstRespinder for NSWindows but how can I do this with an NSMenu. Setting the firstresponder for myView to the NSTextField does not help unfortunately.


Best,

Hendrik
