NSMenuValidation

NSMenuValidation Mac OS X 10.0

This informal protocol declares the single method validateMenuItem:, which is implemented by classes of the a menu's target object. The class implements this method to return a BOOL specifying whether the menu item should be enabled or disabled. Whenever a menu is displayed, each menu item will send a validateMenuItem: message to its target (if the target responds), which then responds with YES or NO depending on whether or not the menu item should be enabled.

@interface NSObject (NSMenuValidation)
