Simulating (or obtaining) menubar effect in a Cell

  • Thread-topic: Simulating (or obtaining) menubar effect in a Cell

Hello all-

I am working with an NSMatrix, and I would like one cell of the Matrix to
act just like an item in the menu bar.  Specifically: Single clicking should
open a menu; holding the mouse down should open the menu and then close it
when released; when selected the item should highlight/invert just like an
item in the menubar.

I have played with NSButtonCell, NSPopUpButtonCell, and other subclasses of
NSCell, but I can¹t seem to hit on the right combination of options to
replicate the behavior of a menubar item.  Can anyone suggest the
appropriate combination of elements that would achieve this effect?  If it
isn¹t possible to do ³out of the box², then suggestions for subclassing
NSCell would be welcome.

Thanks
Tobias
