Custom right click menu for a WebView inside an NSStatusItem

Question

I have a WebView embedded in an NSStatusItem, and I want to display an NSMenu that I've built in Interface Builder when the user right clicks on the WebView / NSStatusItem. What is the easiest way to do this?

a `WebView` inside an `NSStatusItem`?? That sounds *extremely* unconventional... — Dave DeLong, Mar 26 '11 at 07:24

You can assign an object as the web view's WebUIDelegate and implement this delegate method:

- (NSArray *)webView:(WebView *)sender contextMenuItemsForElement:(NSDictionary *)element defaultMenuItems:(NSArray *)defaultMenuItems

where you can return array with custom created menu items.

[statusItem setMenu:menu];

or for right click, make a new subclass of nsview. In your subclass add the method:

(void)rightMouseUp:(NSEvent *)theEvent

Then you can set the view to the statusItem [statusItem setView:view];

Ah didn't see this. Just make a new subclass of nsview. In your subclass add the method: -(void)rightMouseUp:(NSEvent *)theEvent. Then you can set the view to the statusItem [statusItem setView:view]; – lbrndnr Mar 26 '11 at 09:39
