Hi,
I'm having difficulty getting a NSSearchField to work properly in an
NSStatusItem. What I would like to do is something similar to the
spotlight status bar item and the search field that pops up.
After I create my view containing the NSSearchField and a also a
simple menu in Interface Builder, I programmatically create my
NSStatusItem, add a menu item for the NSSearchField to the previously
created IB menu, add it to the menu item's view, and set the IB menu
to become visible when the user clicks the status item.
- (void) awakeFromNib;
{
NSStatusBar * bar = [NSStatusBar systemStatusBar];
statusItem = [bar statusItemWithLength:NSSquareStatusItemLength];
NSString * imageName = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:kBBStatusBarImage ofType:@"png"];
NSImage * statusBarImage = [[NSImage alloc]
initWithContentsOfFile:imageName];
[statusItem setImage:statusBarImage];
imageName = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:kBBStatusBarAltImage ofType:@"png"];
statusBarImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:imageName];
[statusItem setAlternateImage:statusBarImage];
[statusItem setHighlightMode:YES];
[statusItem setEnabled:YES];
searchMenuItem = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@""
action:@selector(performSearch:)
keyEquivalent:@""];
[searchMenuItem setView:searchView];
[searchMenuItem setTarget:self];
[statusItemMenu insertItem:searchMenuItem atIndex:0];
[statusItem setMenu:statusItemMenu];
}
Since I want the app to run without a menu bar and without a doc icon,
I set the Info.plist property LSUIElement to YES. When I run the
program, clicking on the status item causes the menu containing the
NSSearchField to display as expected, but I can't select it or enter
any data in the search field. Clicking around in the search field
gives me these errors in the Console:
HIViewSetFocus() failed with error -30599
And this ominous looking piece of Console:
09-10-17 1:28:55 AM BuskBar[11794] HIToolbox: ignoring exception
'_NSDisplayOperationStack window mismatch on pop' that raised inside
Carbon event dispatch
(
[...]
)
It seems the problem has something to do with the NSSearchField not
being able to get focus because the NSStatusBarWindow (private class?)
it seems to be associated with can't become key. Has anyone
experienced this or know how to get this to work?
Best,
Dalmazio
