You might be able to come up with a whole bunch of code that follows the tree back to the root parent item, displays that (there is API to pop up a menu positioned at a given item), then open the submenu(s) down to the selected item, but it's going to be complicated and ultimately, unique to your app, since it's not directly supported in the NSMenu API. Maybe you should just consider a different approach, such as lists, or NSPathControl, which are able to indicate a current state. Menus are designed for brief transitory indications of state while the user is a highly temporary 'mode', i.e. dragging the mouse through some menus. You are trying to use it for something it wasn't designed for. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
