I have a swift app for MacOS, and have a menu with sub menuitems. I add the menu from the appdelegate and assign an action via the interface builder, but the target action is never called:
statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength)
if let menu = menu
{
statusItem?.menu = menu
menu.delegate = self
}
pauseMenuItem.target = self
pauseMenuItem.action = #selector(pausePressed(_:))
We can see from the bullet on the left of IBAction and from the InterfaceBuilder that the link is well done, but whenever I press on the corresponding menuitem, the action is not executed:
What am I missing ?
I ended up creating the menu programmatically and it worked:
let menu = NSMenu()
let pauseButton = NSMenuItem(title: "Pause", action: #selector(pausePressed), keyEquivalent: "")
menu.addItem(pauseButton)

I made a navigation bar with three buttons - Plans,Visit and Documents and every time a button is selected/clicked a view is added as a child into a container view (Code for the other buttons are similar)
#IBAction func planAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
let newPlan = sender.frame.origin.x
scrollView.subviews.forEach{$0.removeFromSuperview()}
let storyBoard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let nextController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "PlansViewController2") as! PlansViewController2
addChildView(viewController: nextController, in: scrollView)
self.movingView.frame.origin.x = newPlan
}
Now I want to add a tool bar item that only shows up when Plans or Documents is selected and disappears when Visit is selected.
At the moment I add my tool bar item in the viewDidLoad method:
self.toolbarItems = [UIBarButtonItem(title: "Kategorienliste", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(handleCategoryListTap(sender:)))]
How can I add a toolbarItem when a certain button is selected and remove it when another button is selected? Thanks in advance!
You can create your UIBarButtonItem with a custom view like:
let button = UIButton()
let barButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)
self.toolbarItems = [barButtonItem]
to hide / show you can access the button as the following:
let barButtonItem = self.toolbarItems.first
barButtonItem.customView?.isHidden = true
Hope it helps.
menuBarIconMenu.popUp(positioning: menuBarIconMenu.item(at: 0), at: NSPoint(x: 1842, y: 1414), in: nil)
i use this code to make the menu open and yet it wont be behind the menu bar like all the other menus any way to have it go behind the menubar?
update1:
statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength:NSStatusItem.squareLength)
menuBarMenuIcon = (statusItem?.button)!; menuBarMenuIcon.image = NSImage(named: "MenuBarButton"); menuBarMenuIcon.action = #selector(menuBarMenuClicked); menuBarMenuIcon.sendAction(on: [.leftMouseUp,.rightMouseUp])
this is how i assign the menu
update 2:
this worked
statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength:NSStatusItem.squareLength)
statusItem?.menu = menuBarIconMenu
In a previous version of one of my apps, I also opened the menu manually by calling the popup function and experience similiar problems. How did you assign the NSMenu? I would suggest that you assign your NSMenu to the menu property of the NSStatusItem. Then you do not have to add code manually to open the menu. DO you have a custom NSView instance assigned to your NSStatusItem?
private let statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength)
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification)
{
self.statusItem.menu = self.createMenu()
}
private func createMenu() -> NSMenu
{
// Close
let menu = NSMenu()
menu.addItem(NSMenuItem(title: "Quit", action: #selector(self.quit), keyEquivalent: "q"))
return menu
}
I've tried setting "Application is Agent" to 1 but the status bar item disappears. When set to 0 both the status bar item and dock icon are showing. How do I show the status bar item but hide the dock icon?
I've tried the following in both awakeFromNib() and applicationDidFinishLaunching() in AppDelegate.swift:
//class scope
let statusItem = NSStatusBar.system().statusItem(withLength: NSVariableStatusItemLength)
//function scope
self.statusItem.image = NSImage(named: "myImage")
let menu = NSMenu(title: "MyApp-Menu")
let menuItem = NSMenuItem(title: "title", action: nil, keyEquivalent: "")
menu.addItem(menuItem)
self.statusItem.menu = menu
Updated for Mac OS 10.14
in AppDelegate:
let statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength:NSStatusItem.squareLength)
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
if let button = statusItem.button {
button.image = NSImage(named:NSImage.Name("StatusBarButtonImage"))
button.action = #selector(launchFromTray)
}
constructMenu()
}
func constructMenu() {
let menu = NSMenu()
menu.addItem(NSMenuItem.separator())
menu.addItem(NSMenuItem(title: "Show", action: #selector(launchFromTray), keyEquivalent: "w"))
menu.addItem(NSMenuItem(title: "Quit", action: #selector(NSApplication.terminate(_:)), keyEquivalent: "q"))
statusItem.menu = menu
}
And you should set the Application is agent (UIElement) to YES now. Should work fine, hope this will help someone
You want hide the dock icon, you must set "Application is Agent" to "YES" or you can set app to UIElement Application:
ProcessSerialNumber psn = { 0, kCurrentProcess };
OSStatus rt = TransformProcessType(&psn, kProcessTransformToUIElementApplication);
According to the parts of codes you're offered I think that you say "the status bar item disappears" is not really disappear, it is just the menu disappears. The status bar can't disappear unless you write the wrong code, but your codes look fine.
If what I think is right, the menu disappears because the app is an agent app. What you need to do is just make it be a UI Element app again:
ProcessSerialNumber psn = { 0, kCurrentProcess };
OSStatus returnCode = TransformProcessType(&psn, kProcessTransformToForegroundApplication);
You can't show a menu bar when you run an agent app.Only one can be selected between the agent app and the menu bar.
Agents include background-only applications, faceless background-only applications, and UI elements, but is not a full blown application with a menu bar
In the app I'm making I have a side menu that I used SWRevealViewController template to make. I made my own animated button to be the hamburger menu button so when its pressed the side menu will open. The problem is I can't figure out how to connect my animated button to the SWRevealViewController.
Here's the button code I made.
Animated Button
self.button = HamburgerButton(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30))
self.button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(home.toggle(_:)), forControlEvents:.TouchUpInside)
let refreshButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: UIBarButtonSystemItem.Refresh,
target: self, action: #selector(home.buttonMethod))
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = button
and heres the button that was used for the SWRevealViewController
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if revealViewController() != nil {
menuButton.target = revealViewController()
menuButton.action = #selector(SWRevealViewController.revealToggle(_:))
view.addGestureRecognizer(self.revealViewController().panGestureRecognizer())
}
}
Ive done a lot of research but just can't find out how to do it. I need the button I made, which is the first code, to be the one to access the SWRevealViewController and to open and close the side menu rather then the button, which is the second code, that came with the SWRevealViewController template. Any help will be Awesome!!
This is how I do it. You can adapt this to your needs.
let singleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapDetected))
singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
sideMenuButton.userInteractionEnabled = true
sideMenuButton.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)
func tapDetected() {
self.revealViewController().revealToggle(self)
}
I have a custom image button. I want to display a custom menu when clicked on it.
I am using
settingMenu.popUpMenuPositioningItem(settingMenu.itemAtIndex(0), atLocation: NSEvent.mouseLocation(), inView: nil )
I created a menu and created an outlet for it. Still I am not able to see the menu
Any Suggestions?
In AppDelegate.swift:
let statusItem = NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar().statusItemWithLength(-2)
if let button = statusItem.button {
button.image = NSImage(named: "ButtonImageHere")
button.action = Selector("actionForClickingButtonHere:")
}
func actionForClickingButtonHere(sender: AnyObject) {
//Present view, show menu list, whatever
}
If you want to hide the dock icon do this in Info.plist:
