There is nothing special about these menus, other than that the system will populate the Services menu. Research services for more info on that. Is there something specific that you are unable to accomplish? > 2) i need to create a raw NSScroller and control it like a NSSlider (min, > max, value, proportion) is that possible?

But this is just what the API gives you for free. You can make your own fairly easily (with some caveats). > 4) how do you guys check for memory leaks in the cocoa objects? when i > delete a menu... do i have to delete the individual items? For general leak detection, you can use the clang static analyzer (a simple per-project setting) and the Instruments leak tool. Read the "Memory Management Programming Guide" (don't have as link handy--easily found in Xcode docs or just google "memory management cocoa"). If you ask memory management-related questions on this list, you will just get directed to that document so you might as well get it over with. If you plan to use garbage collection, also (and I mean *also*, not *instead*) read "Garbage Collection Programming Guide". > 5) is my screen flipping code below going to work on multiple monitors? You can easily determine this yourself. The NSScreen documentation is a good place to start for understanding how this is handled in Cocoa. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
