detect if menu is shown?

[Rinzwind]

Anyway to check if a menu is currently displayed (open/expanded)?

I read somewhere about menuWillOpen, menuDidClose 'conform to NSMenuDelegate', but I can't make PB from that description...

The following example displays in the StatusBar whether the menu is currently opened or closed. I have tested it successfully on MacOS 10.14.6 'Mojave' with PB 5.71 x64:

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit

ProcedureC NotificationCallback(Object.I, Selector.I, Notification.I)
  Protected NotificationName.S

  NotificationName = PeekS(CocoaMessage(0,
    CocoaMessage(0, Notification, "name"), "UTF8String"), -1, #PB_UTF8)

  Select NotificationName
    Case "NSMenuDidBeginTrackingNotification"
      StatusBarText(0, 0, "Menu is opened", #PB_StatusBar_Center)
    Case "NSMenuDidEndTrackingNotification"
      StatusBarText(0, 0, "Menu is closed", #PB_StatusBar_Center)
  EndSelect
EndProcedure

Define AppDelegate.I = CocoaMessage(0, CocoaMessage(0, 0,
  "NSApplication sharedApplication"), "delegate")
Define DelegateClass.I = CocoaMessage(0, AppDelegate, "class")
Define Menu.I
Define NotificationCenter.I = CocoaMessage(0, 0,
  "NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter")
Define Selector.I = sel_registerName_("DetectMenuAction")
Define SharedApp = CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSApplication sharedApplication")

OpenWindow(0, 270, 100, 320, 100, "Detect opening and closing of menu")
CreateStatusBar(0, WindowID(0))
AddStatusBarField(#PB_Ignore)
StatusBarText(0, 0, "Menu is closed", #PB_StatusBar_Center)

CreateMenu(0, WindowID(0))
MenuTitle("Program")
MenuItem(0, "Info")
MenuItem(1, "Quit")

SharedApp = CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSApplication sharedApplication")
Menu = CocoaMessage(0, SharedApp, "mainMenu")

class_addMethod_(DelegateClass, Selector, @NotificationCallback(), "v@:@")
CocoaMessage(0, NotificationCenter,
  "addObserver:", AppDelegate,
  "selector:", Selector,
  "name:$", @"NSMenuDidBeginTrackingNotification",
  "object:", Menu)
CocoaMessage(0, NotificationCenter,
  "addObserver:", AppDelegate,
  "selector:", Selector,
  "name:$", @"NSMenuDidEndTrackingNotification",
  "object:", Menu)

Repeat
  Select WaitWindowEvent()
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      Break
    Case #PB_Event_Menu
      Select EventMenu()
        Case 0
          MessageRequester("Info",
            "This program demonstrates how to detect opening and closing" +
            " of the menu.",
            #PB_MessageRequester_Info)
        Case 1
          Break
      EndSelect
  EndSelect
ForEver

CocoaMessage(0, NotificationCenter, "removeObserver:", AppDelegate)
