Set focus on NSTextField in NSMenu?

Question

I have NSMenu in the Mac status bar, inside it I have NSMenuItems loading and user view. Inside the user view, I have an NSTextField. I want to focus on NSTextField when the menu opens, as in the Spotlight menu so that the user can immediately enter text.

I tried several methods, including:

    [myTextField becomeFirstResponder];

and

    [myTextField selectText: self];
    [[myTextField currentEditor] setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange([[myTextField stringValue] length], 0)];

but none of them work.

Thanks Alex

You were on the right track with the first, but -becomeFirstResponderreally does not make your opinion the first defendant - you should call -[NSWindow makeFirstResponder:]for this.

Google , NSMenu . , makeFirstResponder:.
