Hi,
I loaded from Nib, as you suggest, and something strange happens -
strange, but near what I need-
If I load a Nib, the new main menu overlaps the old one (and two menus
coexist)... but new Main Menu redraws "apple" menu too, and disappear
if I reload the Nib. Finally, if I first "clean" carbon menu, and then
load bundle twice, everything seems to be working. This is the code I
wrote:
static sqInt initializeCocoaMenu(void) {
MenuRef cleanMenu;
//First we clean the carbon menu
CreateNewMenu(menuId, 0, &cleanMenu);
SetMenuTitleWithCFString(cleanMenu, CFSTR(""));
SetRootMenu(cleanMenu);
//Then we load the bundle
[ NSBundle loadNibNamed: @"MarsPlugin" owner: [ NSApplication
sharedApplication ] ];
//... twice
[ NSBundle loadNibNamed: @"MarsPlugin" owner: [ NSApplication
sharedApplication ] ];
return sqNil;
}
... but this is ok?
Thanks,
Esteban

Hi,
I'm new to the list -and to cocoa-, and I don't know if what I want
to do is possible: I'm writing a plugin for a previous existent
application made in carbon, the application will take over the old
app behavior, and for that, it needs to replace the menu with a new
one...
I read documentation, saw examples and followed old threads on this
list, and no one is very clear about this... ¿Is it possible? ¿how?
You should make a nib from the "Application" template in Interface
Builder, then load it via [NSBundle loadNibNamed:...]. Its main
menu will replace the current main menu.
I already tried
[ NSApp setMainMenu: myMenu ]
It does not fail, but nothing happens :(
It's hard to say what this would do without seeing the code that
creates myMenu. But there's some problems creating a main menu
programmatically; using a nib is the best approach.
