Hi,
I'm trying to add a new menu to the main menu of my application using
Cocoa. I thought something like this would do the trick:
NSMenu* menu = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle:@"foo"];
NSMenuItem* item = [[NSApp mainMenu] addItemWithTitle:@"foo"
action: nil
keyEquivalent: @""];
[item setSubmenu:menu];
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to do anything at all. I thought that
the top-level menus were actually menu items on the main menu, but
perhaps I am misunderstanding?
This is from the MenuMadness example application included with Xcode
and works fine for me:
NSMenu *newMenu;
NSMenuItem *newItem;
// Add the submenu
newItem = [[NSMenuItem allocWithZone:[NSMenu menuZone]]
initWithTitle:@"Flashy" action:NULL keyEquivalent:@""];
newMenu = [[NSMenu allocWithZone:[NSMenu menuZone]]
initWithTitle:@"Flashy"];
[newItem setSubmenu:newMenu];
[newMenu release];
[[NSApp mainMenu] addItem:newItem];
[newItem release];
HTH, Jason
