My OS X app programmatically creates a menu which is displayed in its

(1) Dock Menu
(2) Status Item
(3) a menu which use can pop up anywhere via a global keyboard shortcut, which 
invokes -[NSMenu popUpMenuPositioningItem:atLocation:inView:]

I would like to add a search field at the top of this menu, like the search 
field in the Help menu of any Cocoa app.  At least in instance (3).

In Apple's document "Application Menu and Pop-up List Programming Topics" [1], 
it is stated that "A view in a menu item can receive all mouse events as 
normal, but keyboard events are not supported."  But a search field certainly 
supports keyboard events!

So how might Apple be doing that?

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock
