I want the help menu item in my app to redirect to a webpage, the redirect I
can do fine, it's hooking it up confuses me.
That menu item sends by default showHelp: to First Responder. So I wrote a
showHelp: method in the App Delegate but it doesn't get called, I still get the
d, the search field would not be able to get keystrokes.
What I decided to do instead is to simply add a "Search" item to the menu. I
think this will be a better user experience copying Apple's current fake "Help"
menu anyhow. It took me a while to figure that thing

The same way they do the Spotlight “menu”: a borderless window that looks like
a menu.
Sadly, I don't know if there's a way to hook into the menu manager to get the
same results in your app. But you _may_ be
menu, like the search
field in the Help menu of any Cocoa app. At least in instance (3).
In Apple's document "Application Menu and Pop-up List Programming Topics" [1],
it is stated that "A view in a menu item can receive all mouse events as
normal, but keyboard events are no
the former). Very strange that it had this
particular effect, and only on the use of the Help menu to open a project, but
at least I've found the culprit.
Thanks again for taking time to help, much appreciated!
All the best,

Hi list,
I've got a strange problem that I cannot figure out how to solve. When
starting up my application, and choosing Help from the application's
menu, trying to perform _any_ of the items listed doesn't work.
Re-opening the Help a second time, clicking on any item works as
expected. Strange!?!
