[Half-Solved] How to update or redraw NSMenuItem while it is being displayed

[Z Rosen]

So with the suggestions to resort to Carbon, I was able to get a plain 
ol' NSMenuItem to redraw when changed:

[ [ NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter ] addObserver: self
	selector: @selector(redrawMenuCarbon:)
	name: NSMenuDidChangeItemNotification
	object: nil ];

- (void) redrawMenuCarbon:(NSNotification*)notification
{
	extern MenuRef _NSGetCarbonMenu(NSMenu *);
	OSStatus err = noErr;
	err = UpdateInvalidMenuItems (_NSGetCarbonMenu(statusMenu));
	if (err != noErr)
		NSLog(@" --- ERROR: Carbon Call UpdateInvalidMenuItems: %i", err );
}

The reason I say "plain ol'" is that it does not seem to work quite 
right for NSMenuItems with setAttributedTitle.  These items are only 
updated when the user rolls on/off them.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this apparent bug?  Is 
there another Carbon call I may be missing?


Thanx a mil for the help
