Hi,

I'm trying to add a new menu to the main menu of my application using
Cocoa. I thought something like this would do the trick:

NSMenu* menu = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle:@"foo"];
NSMenuItem* item = [[NSApp mainMenu] addItemWithTitle:@"foo"
       action: nil
       keyEquivalent: @""];
[item setSubmenu:menu];

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to do anything at all. I thought that
the top-level menus were actually menu items on the main menu, but
perhaps I am misunderstanding?

    NSMenu *newMenu;
    NSMenuItem *newItem;

    // Add the submenu

    [newItem setSubmenu:newMenu];
    [newMenu release];
    [[NSApp mainMenu] addItem:newItem];
    [newItem release];

HTH, Jason

This is from the MenuMadness example application included with Xcode and works fine for me: newItem = [[NSMenuItem allocWithZone:[NSMenu menuZone]] initWithTitle:@"Flashy" action:NULL keyEquivalent:@""]; newMenu = [[NSMenu allocWithZone:[NSMenu menuZone]] initWithTitle:@"Flashy"];
