Well, does your modal window or its first responder or anything in-
between implement selectAll:?
Commands in a menu will be enabled if anything in the responder
chain can a) respond to them or b) explicitly enables them in a -
validateMenuItem: call. When a modal window is displayed, the
responder chain goes as far as the window and stops - it doesn't
continue on up to the app as a modeless window's responder chain does.
As far as I know it should. My window is laid out in its nib like this:
- NSWindow
- NSView (Content View)
...
- NSScrollView
- MyCustomTableView
- NSTableColumn
- NSTableColumn
...
At the time I check the Edit menu, the focus ring is around my custom
table view and a row is selected. NSTableView says that it implements
selectAll: and deselectAll:, and just to be extra sure, I created my
own that just call super, but that doesn't change any behavior.
