how to create a NSMenuItem without memory leaks

Hi,

I create an NSMenu by myself;

menu = [[NSMenu allocWithZone:menuZone] init];

And depending on some data NSMenuItems get created.


Now these menuItems get deleted and redrawn depending on some actions of the user with

[menu removeItemAtIndex: x];


I create the menu items like this:

newItem = [[NSMenuItem alloc] init];
[newItem initWithTitle:aTitle
					action:@selector(show:)
			 keyEquivalent:@""];
[menu addItem:newItem];


Now is this a memory leak?

Because I don't release it anywhere. However the menu sometimes gets updated.
So this code ([[NSMenuItem alloc] init]) is invoked several times without a release call anywhere.


Is this better:

NSMenuItem *newItem = [menu addItemWithTitle:aTitle action:@selector(show:) keyEquivalent:@""];
...

since I don't own newItem it should get autoreleased, right?
