So I tried to call -setHidden on the items on the menu in my implementation of -menuNeedsUpdate:. This does not work, the menu items are all shown, no matter whether I pass YES or NO to this method. What's going on, why doesn't it respect my settings? And is there an alternative way to do this?


I think this is where I override menuForEvent and provide a menu with only the right items.

Also, I think that if you're talking about standard items, you should disable them rather than hide, and that the hiding happens automatically.
