Problem updating a (sub)menu |

Hi,
I'm having a problem with updating a submenu:
What I'm trying to do is implement a "Recent Files" submenu.
When I open a file/document in one application, I'm sending a notification
about it, that is picked up by the other application. I can retrieve the
file/document name and when I use -insertItemWithTitle:... it is added to
the submenu, according to -itemArray. I can even retrieve the -indexOfItem:
However, the submenu on screen never gets updated, that is, the entry is
never shown, even if I use -update on the submenu or the main menu.
Here's a short example of what I do:
// -updateRecentMenu: is called, when the observer receives a notification
- (void) updateRecentMenu: (NSNotification *) note
{
NSString *entry = [[note userInfo] objectForKey: @"DocumentName"];
NSLog(@"--> %d %@", [[recent itemArray] count], [recent itemArray]);
NSLog(@"--> %@", entry);
[recentMenu insertItemWithTitle: entry
action: NULL
keyEquivalent: nil
atIndex: 0]; // add at top of list
// FIXME: remove bottom entry, if -itemArray > 8
NSLog(@"--> %d %@", [[recent itemArray] count], [recent itemArray]);
[recentMenu update];
[mainMenu update];
return;
}
The first NSLog shows no entries in -itemArray, the second shows the correct
name of the file, the third NSLog shows that one NSMenuItem HAS been added
-- which I figure should now be displayed, but it isn't.
What am I missing?
