I have a similar case, and it works OK. What I do is on mouseDown, start a timer. When that fires, it grabs [NSApp currentEvent] and passes that as the event to the popUpContextMenu: method. The menu tracks as expected.
The only kink was that because this was being done within a button cell's tracking, I had to post a fake mouse UP after the menu was closed to ensure that the cell ended tracking. For a view that may not be necessary unless you're doing something special on mouse up. --Graham On 27/10/2011, at 5:23 PM, Ryan Joseph wrote: > I have a menu that I popup using popUpContextMenu:withEvent:forView: from a > mouse down event but after a delay (like a dual-state click and hold button). > The problem is when I release the mouse button the menu is closed forcing the > user to hold the mouse down the entire time they're navigating the menu. > > Is there anyway to keep the menu open after the mouse is up?
