I created a menu resource in a separate xib file, made it to be a subclass NSMenu like the following, and the file's owner to be the StatusMenu
#interface StatusMenu : NSMenu
{
#private
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *menuitem1;
IBOutlet NSMenuItem *menuitem2;
}
- (IBAction)action1:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)action2:(id)sender;
- (void)show;
#end
where show method is implemented in the following way
- (void)show
{
NSImage *menuImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"myicon" ofType:#"png"]];
statusItem = [[[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] statusItemWithLength:NSVariableStatusItemLength] retain];
[statusItem setImage:menuImage];
[statusItem setMenu:self];
[statusItem setHighlightMode:YES];
}
Then I created and launched the StatusMenu instance in the app delegate like the following
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
statusMenu = [[StatusMenu alloc] init];
statusMenu.user = self.user;
[statusMenu show];
}
Now, I can see the icon on the status bar. But when I click on the icon, no responding is happening. What could be wrong?
You don't usually subclass NSMenu to do what you're trying to do.
You can simply create another class (call It MenuController or something), put It in your storyboard/xib and have an outlet to It in your AppDelegate.
Here`s a sample project for you to check out.

My DetailView of a SplitView has a Map with Annotations. Upon clicking an Annotation the entire window (and not just the DetailView) should go to another view. Unfortunately that doesn't work.
This is how I'm creating my NavigationController in my AppDelegate
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
[self.window addSubview:navigationController.view];
This is how I'm creating the SplitView
left = [[MapSplitViewLeft alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
right = [[MapViewController alloc] init];
splitViewController = [[UISplitViewController alloc] init];
splitViewController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:left,right, nil];
self.view = splitViewController.view;
left.right = right;
[left release];
[right release];
And that's what's being called when clicked on an Annotation:
- (void)showDetails:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"Yes it works");
VenueViewController *vviewcontroller = [[VenueViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"VenueViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
AppDelegate *del = (AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
[del.navigationController pushViewController:vviewcontroller animated:YES];
}
When I click on the Annotation I only get "Yes it works" but nothing else is happening.
Thanks so much for any advise.
Every UIViewController has the property "navigationController". Try with your current ViewController to push the new Viewcontroller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vviewcontroller animated:YES];
edit: Sorry, you mean the entire window! I think that would not work.
edit2: Maybe this answer can help you how to add a view over window in uiviewcontroller But i think thats that view is not on your navigationController-Stack
I want to create a subview of NSView and link it to a MenuView.xib.
I'll have:
- MenuView.m
- MenuView.h
- MenuView.xib
in xcode I created my xib and set as customclass my 'MenuView'. Now I would like to add my new view programmatically via a command like this:
NSView *vv = [[MenuView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 200)];
NSMenuItem *newItem = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"title" action:nil keyEquivalent:#""];
[newItem setView:vv];
but I just see an empty space without any content. How can I tell the class MenuView.m to render with the MenuView.xib file? Is that wrong?
Thanks.
Use an NSViewController, it's designed for loading views from a nib file. In your nib file, set NSViewController as the class of File's Owner and then set the view outlet of File's Owner so that it points to your view in the nib.
Then you can just do this:
NSViewController* viewController = [[NSViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"YourNibName" bundle:nil];
YourCustomView* view = [viewController view]; //this loads the nib
[viewController release];
//do something with view
To load a view from a nib (adapted from another answer of mine):
NSNib *nib = [[NSNib alloc] initWithNibNamed:#"MenuView" bundle:nil];
NSArray *nibObjects;
if (![nib instantiateNibWithOwner:self topLevelObjects:&nibObjects]) return nil;
NSMenuItem *item = nil;
for (id obj in nibObjects)
if ([obj isKindOfClass:[NSMenuItem class]]) {
item = obj;
break;
}
[someView insertSubview:item];
If you want something other than self as the file owner, change the parameter to instantiateNibWithOwner:.
I have a menubar application, which open a popover. That popover contains NSTextField and few buttons. The problem is that the NSTextField is non-selectable, it's impossible to type anything in it. However, it's possible to click on it with mouse right button and paste something. Well, that's definitely odd behavior. Buttons works without any problems in that popover, btw.
Here's the code i use:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
statusItem = [[[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] statusItemWithLength:NSVariableStatusItemLength] retain];
[statusItem setAction:#selector(showPopOver:)];
[statusItem setImage:[[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"icon" ofType:#"png"]]];
[statusItem setHighlightMode:YES];
}
and:
- (IBAction)showPopOver:(id)sender {
popover = [[NSPopover alloc] init];
[popover setContentViewController:popOverController];
popover.animates = YES;
popover.delegate = self;
[popover showRelativeToRect:[sender bounds]
ofView:sender
preferredEdge:NSMaxYEdge];
}
}
Any ideas what the problem exactly and how to fix it?
Seems is a bug.

I have a problem, I have created a project window based application in xcode, then I create a UITabBarController that manages two views all programmatically, the second view is a tableView and I want to see in the top a UINavigationController, I have tried a lot but I don't know how to have a UINavigationController in the second view. this is the code:
ProjectAppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
//Creo una tabBarController
UITabBarController *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
//Create the two view controllers
UIViewController *vc1 = [[Visuale1ViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *vc2 = [[Visuale2ViewController alloc] init];
//Make an array containing the two view controllers
NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:vc1, vc2, nil];
//The viewControllers array retains vc1 and vc2, we can release
//our ownership of them in this method
[vc1 release];
[vc2 release];
//Attach them to the tab bar controller
[tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllers];
//Setto la tabBarController come rootViewController di window
[window setRootViewController:tabBarController];
//The window retain tabBarController, possiamo lasciare il nostro riferimento
[tabBarController release];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Visuale1ViewController.h
#implementation Visuale1ViewController
- (id)init{
[super initWithNibName:#"Visuale1ViewController" bundle:nil];
//Get the tab bar item
UITabBarItem *tbi = [self tabBarItem];
//Give it a label
[tbi setTitle:#"Visuale 1"];
return self;
}
// The designated initializer. Override if you create the controller programmatically and want to perform customization that is not appropriate for viewDidLoad.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibName bundle:(NSBundle *)bundle {
return [self init];
}
Visuale2ViewController.h
#implementation AnswerViewController
- (id)init{
//Call the superclass's designated initializer
/*[super initWithNibName:nil
bundle:nil];*/
[super initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
answers = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i<10 ; i++) {
[answers addObject:[Answer DefaultAnswer]];
}
//Get the tab bar item
UITabBarItem *tbi = [self tabBarItem];
//Give it a laber
[tbi setTitle:#"Visuale 2"];
return self;
}
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style{
return [self init];
}
//All below are all methods to work the table view, and all go well, the only problem it's the UINavigationController, to manage then the detail of the table...
Now I want to know how I can put a UINavigationController in the second view. I try do this, in ProjectAppDelegate.m:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
//Creo una tabBarController
UITabBarController *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
//Create the two view controllers
UIViewController *vc1 = [[Visuale1ViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *vc2 = [[Visuale2ViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc2];
//Make an array containing the two view controllers
NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:vc1, navController, nil];
//The viewControllers array retains vc1 and vc2, we can release
//our ownership of them in this method
[vc1 release];
[vc2 release];
//Attach them to the tab bar controller
[tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllers];
//Setto la tabBarController come rootViewController di window
[window setRootViewController:tabBarController];
}
In this way I can visualize the NavigationBar, but I lost the name of the SecondTabBar. Sorry for my english, how I can do this?
Yes in the second view you have to set title as
[self.navigationItem setTitle:#"Visuale2"];
For TabBar title-
UITabBar *tabBar = [self.tabBarController tabBar];
NSArray *tabBarItems = [tabBar items];
UITabBarItem *secondTabBarItem = [tabBarItems objectAtIndex:1];
[secondTabBarItem setTitle:#"Visuale2"];
I left the code as it was and I added in init Visale2ViewController this:
UIImage *i = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Hypno.png"];
[tbi setImage:i];
and now in can see the text Visuale2 in tabBar and the image...i don't know why...
You need to set the tabBarItem property for your UINavigationController. Something like this.
UITabBarItem *tabItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Visuale 2" image:nil tag:1];
UIViewController *vc2 = [[Visuale2ViewController alloc] init];
navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc2];
navController.tabBarItem = tabItem;
After looking at it,the scenario seems to be same like me.What I faced for the first time when doing Tab+Navigation.
I am sure that there is some problem with your Tab+Navigation based application. Although it shows the Tab as well as navigation are not able to navigate the basic flow.And it is very difficult to solve your problem with such less code.
Instead of this, I had an alternate solution for the same:
Once you have a tab bar in a XIB, the easiest way to approach this is to drag a UINavigationController object over from the Library window (looks like a left nav bar button on a gold background) into the Tree View for your tab bar (the text only view, not the GUI). Place it under the tab bar, then drag your existing view controller under the tab bar controller instead of under the tab bar.
When you go to view that tab you should then see a navigation bar on the top of it... if you are loading the navigation controller from another xib, you'll modify the nav bar in the tab bar xib.
else you can below you can follow the best url for the same:

I am a .Net developer that needs to port a small program over to Mac OS X. I have this mostly done (partly thanks to people on this site, thanks!) but have a bug that maybe people I can get help with.
I am creating a tool that sits in the status bar, that when clicked opens a window with several links or buttons. When the links or buttons are clicked they either open a website or external program. The problem is that the icon in the status bar disappears as I launch one of these external commands. Even more interesting is that the space on the status bar where the icon should be still responds; meaning that if I click on the area (even without the visible icon) it still runs the code and opens the window.
Here is the current code:
tray.m
#import "tray.h"
#import "MyView.h"
#implementation Tray
-(void) awakeFromNib{
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
statusItem = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsofFile:[bundle pathForResource:"#icon" ofType:#"png"]];
MyView *view = [MyView new];
[statusItem setImage:statusImage];
view.image = statusImage;
[statusitem setView:view];
[statusitem setToolTip:#"Tray App"];
[view setTarget:self];
[view setAction:#selector(openWindow)];
}
-(IBAction)openWindow:(id)sender{
[trayWin makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}
-(IBAction)openActMon:(id)sender {
(void)system("open '\/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app'");
}
tray.h
#import "MyView.h"
#interface Tray : NSObject {
NSStatusItem *statusItem;
NSImage *statusImage;
IBOutlet NSWindow * trayWin;
IBOutlet NSButton *ActMon;
void *openWindow;
}
#property (retain,nonatomic) NSStatusItem *statusItem;
-(IBAction)ActMon:(id)sender;
#end
MyView.h
#interface MyView : NSControl {
NSImage *image;
id target;
SEL action;
}
#property (retain)NSImage *image;
#property (assign) id target;
#property (assign) SEL action;
#end
MyView.m
#import "MyView.h"
#implementation MyView;
#synthethize image, target, action;
-(void)mousemouseUP:(NSEvent *)event{
[NSApp sendAction:selfself.action to:self.target from:self];
}
-(void)dealloc {
self.image = nil;
[super dealloc];
}
-(void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect {
[self.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0,0,18,18) fromRect:NSZeroRect operation:NSCompositeSourceOver];
}
#end
}
The openActMon is run when the image/button is clicked, the image is located in the trayWin Window that is opened when the icon is clicked. At this point, Activity monitor successfully launches, but the icon in the StatusBar disappears.
I have tried putting a [super setNeedsDisplay:YES] in the openActMon, but that didn't help. And I added [view setNeedsDisplay:YES] in the openActMon and it responded undeclared.
I have given all of this code because, as I said, I am not a Objective-C coder, but .Net who just needs to port something small over. Hoping that this will be helpful to others in the future. Alot of this I have hodgepodged together from different forums and sites or have gotten from some help on StackOverflow. I am hoping someone can help.
Thanks in advance!
In awakeFromNib add:
[statusitem retain];
In awakeFromNib, you are allocating the NSImage into statusItem. I think you mean to allocate it into statusImage.
