I have the need to modify a menu item title, so I:
a) Added a tag to the menu item in IB (selected the menu item, then
went to the first "tab" of the Inspector, and added a number in the
"Tag" field. I tried both 99 and 1).
b) Added this code to my function:
NSMenu *mainMenu = [NSApp mainMenu];
NSMenuItem *menuItemToModify = [mainMenu itemWithTag: 99];
The problem is that mainMenu is never nil, menuItemToModify always
is. I tried setting the "Tag" field for some standard menu items
and it still returns nil.
This seems like really super basic behaviour that should be a snap
to implement, so I'm guessing that I'm missing something really
obvious.
The problem almost certainly is that the main menu is a menu of menus
e.g. File, View, Format, Window, Help, etc. and you're trying to
access one of the menu items of those menus.
In any case, I think you're taking the wrong approach. It's better to
declare an outlet somewhere and connect your menu item to it within
Interface Builder then you don't need to go searching for it.
