> nobody even calls validateMenuItem: for my modal window... Well, you're one step closer to getting to the bottom of it perhaps, knowing that.
Is the target of the menu item in question set to the first responder in IB? Forgive me if you know all this, but at the code level, this corresponds to setting a nil target for the menu item in question. This then searches the responder chain, starting with the first responder, for the first object than can respond to the selector defined for the menu item's 'sent action' in IB, and then sends that object a validateMenuItem message (if the object can respond to such a message that is, otherwise it just enables the menu item regardless). This is all in the docs. So it is (probably!) one of: - the target of the menu item is incorrectly set in IB - the action of the menu item is incorrectly set in IB - the control in question does not respond to the action set in IB - the responder chain is screwed up somehow (unlikely) Having said all of which, I haven't tried any of this with a table view, only an edit field. A bit of digging around in the debugger should reveal which it is. IB sets up items 1 and 2 when you first create your application but maybe something has trampled on them. Item 3 can be tested, I would think, by sending the table view the appropriate action message yourself in GDB.
