Cocoa - Capturing NSStatusItem mouse hover event (1 answer)

Closed 8 years ago.

I've successfully added a NSStatusItem to the menu bar, showing an regular NSMenu.

Is it possible to capture a hover event on this and in that case, display a different menu?

Answer 1

You need to create a new custom view, override method [NSView mouseEntered:] with [NSView addTrackingRect:...] and then set to the status item [NSStatusItem setView:]
