Cannot seem to setEnabled:NO on NSMenuItem
Had the same issue, so I thought I'd post my solution. NSMenu auto enables NSMenuButtons, so we have to override that.
In IB:
Or programmatically:
// Disable auto enable
[myMenu setAutoenablesItems:NO];
// Test it
[myMenuButton setEnabled:NO];
[myMenuButton setEnabled:YES];
I solved it with the help of a colleague, so I post it here for others that experience the same issue.
You should set your NSMenu-sublass to auto-enable items (default behaviour) and then implement this method in the NSMenu-sublass.
- (BOOL)validateMenuItem:(NSMenuItem *)menuItem {
return [menuItem isEnabled];
}
You should uncheck Auto Enables Items on the closest parent NSMenu
