Another way to do this is to implement the NSMenu delegate methods:

- menuWillOpen:
- menuDidClose:

You would then set the highlighted variable there. I think it'll make the code easier to read. You need to set the menu's delegate for this to work (obviously).

I'm making an NSStatusItem with a custom view. In drawRect:, it draws things based on the value of the "highlighted" instance variable. When mouseDown: is called, it pops up a menu using the status item's popUpStatusItemMenu: method. Using the mouseUp: event does not work, because it is not called after the menu goes away. This is the way I've found that makes it work:

- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
	highlighted = YES;
	[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
	[statusItem popUpStatusItemMenu:menu];
	highlighted = NO;
	[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
	[super mouseDown:theEvent];
}

Is this a good method, or is there something better that involves mouseUp:?
