Hi Cocoa-dev, I'm experimenting with using NSViews in menus, and was expecting that such items could continue to use Cocoa-provided implementations of mouse tracking, selecting an item and dismissing the menu, etc.
After a lot of experimentation, doc reading and googling I've managed to hook up mouse tracking somewhat correctly - by implementing the delegate method menu:willHighlightItem:, and ensuring my views get setNeedsDisplay:YES when they get un-highlighted. This seemed to work correctly but was a lot more work than I expected. More importantly, I want the NSView items to behave the same as other menu items - i.e. when the user selects one, by mouse or keyboard, the menu dismisses and actions are sent (and the item highlight flashes briefly). I can't work out how to get this hooked up without reinventing the wheel. Note that my NSViews don't require mouse input - I'm just using NSView items for custom display, not the more complicated case displaying a control in the menu. Does anyone have any good pointers regarding using NSViews in an NSMenu and falling back to system-provided code for tracking and selection? thanks Rua HM._______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
