But if the user has text on the Clipboard from another app, how does
your app know without something horribly inefficient like polling?
I'd be inclined to just check the clipboard function on mouseDown in the
menu bar. That way you only need to update the menu when it's actually
displayed. (Of course you'd also need to check the clipboard in the
menuPick handler itself, because if the user uses a keyboard equivalent
you won't get the mouseDown, but I think that's not a bad idea anyway,
just on general principles - it's the last line of defense for error
handling in case the clipboard content isn't what you thought it was.)
While that takes care of the menu rendering, it doesn't take care of any
keyboard shortcuts that a menu might have.
Ken and Xavier's suggestion of using the resume message allows us to do
both.
I still believe there's an even simpler way to handle that through
properties alone, but lately I think everything can be reduced to
property settings so I may just be crazy.....
