Hi!
I would like to create a custom menu item much like the search item
used in Leopard's Help or Spotlight menus.
I thought this ought to be simple under Leopard, as it is now possible
to add an arbitrary view to a menu item. This however only gets me 80%
of the way and I am not even sure a working solution lies in that
direction. The problem is that the custom view does not cover all of
the menu item. There remains a border above and below of my view.
- Is there a way to stretch my view over those borders?
- Where does the menu do its drawing? NSMenuItem is neither a view nor
a cell. I believe the custom view takes NSMenuItemCell out of the loop.
- What was the pre-Leopard way of doing this? I remember something
about going down to Carbon, but can't find much information on the web.
Best,
Pierre
