I have an NSMenu attached to an NSSearchField as a searchMenuTemplate.
The menu is as Follows:
-------
All
Start
End
Country
Station
Notes
Frequency
--------
If the user selects "All", I want to remove all check marks from other
selected menu items. If the user selects anything except "All", then I
want to remove the check from the All menu item. In order to allow
this, I have outlets set for each menu item so I can change its state:
----------
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *allMenuItem;
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *startMenuItem;
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *endMenuItem;
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *countryMenuItem;
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *stationMenuItem;
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *notesMenuItem;
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *frequenciesMenuItem;
----------
This seems like it would be easy to implement, but I cant seem to set
the state on a menu item via the IBOutlet reference (and I have triple
checked that the outlets are set correctly, and the debugger seems to
confirm this). I can only set the state in response to the action of
the item being clicked.
------------
-(IBAction)handleSearchMenuItems:(NSMenuItem *)menuItem
{
NSLog(@"Search");
NSInteger state = [menuItem state];
if(state == NSOffState)
{
[menuItem setState:NSOnState];
[allMenuItem setState:NSOffState];
}
else
{
[menuItem setState:NSOffState];
}
}
-(IBAction)handleSearchAllItems:(NSMenuItem *)allMenuItemSender
{
NSInteger state = [allMenuItemSender state];
if(state == NSOffState)
{
[allMenuItemSender setState:NSOnState];
[startMenuItem setState:NSOffState];
[endMenuItem setState:NSOffState];
[countryMenuItem setState:NSOffState];
[stationMenuItem setState:NSOffState];
[notesMenuItem setState:NSOffState];
[frequenciesMenuItem setState:NSOffState];
}
else
{
[allMenuItemSender setState:NSOffState];
}
}
------------
So, in the code above, I can set the state for allMenuItemSender and
menuItem, but not for the NSMenuItems which were not clicked.
Again, this seems like it should be simple, but I am completely
stumped (I am pretty new to Cocoa).
Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on?
