Thanks Quincey, I've already subclassed my NSDocumentController and I use
noteNewRecentDocument to prevent my index file from showing up in the list.
The code never gets past the continue call because every time this method is
called the only menu item in [openRecentMenu itemArray] is "Clear Menu"
(except when I quit out).
- (void)noteNewRecentDocument:(NSDocument *)aDocument {
if ([aDocument isKindOfClass:[PNDocument class]]) {
[super noteNewRecentDocument:aDocument];
}
NSMenu *fileMenu = [[[NSApp mainMenu] itemWithTitle:@"File"] submenu];
if (!fileMenu) {
return;
}
NSMenu *openRecentMenu = [[fileMenu itemWithTitle:@"Open Recent"] submenu];
if (!openRecentMenu) {
return;
}
for (NSMenuItem *openRecentMenuItem in [openRecentMenu itemArray]) {
NSString *title = [openRecentMenuItem title];
if ([title isEqualToString:@"Clear Menu"]) {
continue;
}
// code to change the menuItem title
}
}
