In the case of the Quit item, since this is connected directly to the app
object, you will have to subclass the application class, declare your
subclass as the target's primary class, and in your subclass implement
validateMenuItem and worksWhenModal. See, always see:

Allowing menu item selection in a modal session

[dcdeveloper]

Hi,

I have an application that sometimes runs a modal window (entered via
[NSApplication runModalForWindow:]).  During this modal session, I'd like
to allow the user to select a menu item (namely, the "Quit" item),
however, all menu items are automatically disabled when the modal session
is entered.

Is there any way to keep a menu item enabled during a modal session?

Thanks!
Doug
