We have a very similar situation where different tools will add their own menus, and some of those menus share key equivs with normal menus (like command-a). We'll remove those key equivs from the normal menus, remember them in a list, and set the new menu item's key equiv. One thing we ended up doing was handling menuNeedsUpdate in the app delegate AND handling windowDidBecomeMain for all windows in the app delegate. Both call the same method that set the key equivs and the enabled state of all items in the current tool menu. BTW, our tool menus have the "Auto Enables Items" checkbox turned off in the xib, because their enable state is controlled by some cross-platform code. We've also had to add a subclass of NSMenu that overrides performKeyEquivalent because the default behavior doesn't handle all key/modifier combinations correctly, especially some non-modifed or non-command-key key equivs. -- Steve Mills office: 952-818-3871 home: 952-401-6255 _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
