   -(void)rightMouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent  
{  
    cvcont = [[CollectionViweItemSubClass alloc] init ];  
    NSMenu * m = [[NSMenu alloc] init];  
    //[cvcont openInFinder];----perfectly working------  
    [self setTarget:cvcont];  
    [m addItemWithTitle:@"show in finder" action:@selector(openInFinder) keyEquivalent:@""];// not working-----  
    [NSMenu popUpContextMenu:m withEvent:theEvent forView:self];  
}

i subclassed the button and calling a method from the class CollectionViweItemSubClass . if i calling as usually it is working. But the method was not connected via NSMenu. The below code is my method from the class CollectionViewItemSubClass

-(void)openInFinder {
NSString *savedValue = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
                        stringForKey:@"filePath"];
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] selectFile:savedValue inFileViewerRootedAtPath:nil];

}

So are `rightMouseDown` and `openInFinder` in the same class? – trojanfoe May 21 '13 at 07:26
And are you able to *fire* `openInFinder` via the main menu for example? I'm trying to determine if there is a problem with the class that encloses that method. – trojanfoe May 21 '13 at 08:12
yeah its working when executing `[cvcont openInFinder];` – user23790 May 21 '13 at 08:20
No, I mean via a menu, not directly like that. – trojanfoe May 21 '13 at 08:21
no, via menu the method was not fired. the menu text was disabled. – user23790 May 21 '13 at 08:23
OK get it working from the Main Menu first and then worry about the pop-up menu later. The object probably isn't in the responder chain or something. – trojanfoe May 21 '13 at 08:24
