Re: setting focus on NSSearchField in status bar menu item

Hi, thank you for answering.

I do the following:

- (void) menuWillOpen:(NSMenu *)menu
{
> [statusItem popUpStatusItemMenu: menu];
> [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];

}

It brings the process to the front, but on first click the menu doesn't stay open, so i have to click it again to show up.

What is the best practice to implement it anyway?

Thanks,

Nava

After I go to another application, make it front and click again on my status menu, the NSSearchField shows, but it's disabled and can't get focus. The question is how to cause the NSSearchField to get focus each time, the user clicks to show the menu?
