I have an NSPopupButton on a modal window.

I have set the target to be self in my controller class, for every menu item I add to the NSPopupButton.

I have implemented worksWithModal.
I have implemented -(BOOL)validateMenuItemNSMenuItem *)menuItem

but validateMenuItem is never called when clicking in the popup menu. Am I missing something?

Do you mean worksWhenModal?

Also, I'm not sure that validateMenuItem is called for popup button menus (it might be, I'm just not sure). You could try listening for NSPopUpButtonWillPopUpNotifications sent from the button, though.

I figured it out.

You need to set both a target and an action for the popup in order for it to call your validateMenuItem method.

I was setting the target, but not the action, since it doesn't need one. I made a dummy method for the action and it all works now.

D'oh. I knew that, too. Poop.

Well, I'm really just glad you got it sorted.
