This works to update the main menu. Kind of a kludge, since the menu
is already set as visible, but it must also force a redraw.
[NSMenu setMenuBarVisible:YES];
[MyWindowController showWindow:self];

Hi,
My app sometimes runs by being started by a launch agent. When that
happens, the app in minimized in the Dock by calling the
NSApplication method miniaturizeAll. That works fine. When the
operation is complete, I want to again show the app, so I call the
NSWindowController method showWindow. The windows are brought out
of the Dock and the main window is active and in the front, which
is good. The problem is that the app's main menu is not updated, so
the menu of whatever app was in the front at the time my app was
started is still visible. My app's menu appears if I switch to
another app in the Finder, and then back to my app, or if I do a
key-equivalent of a menu item.
Is there some way to force the main menu to update? I've tried a
bunch of things, but nothing seems to work. I tried using
NSApplication unhide and activateIgnoringOtherApps, but that didn't
help.
This is only a problem in 10.5 and 10.6. The problem does not occur
in Lion, which makes me suspect that it's a system bug.
Thanks,
Michael
Did you try to make the window key, as in "makeKeyAndOrderFront:"?
