Re: [platform-swt-dev] Menu for cocoa

[Steve Northover <Steve_Northover@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Please watch the code when it comes
in and help me fix it.  Eclipse doesn't use real operating system
accelerators yet they need to draw in the menu items and be read by accessibility
tools.  Cocoa does not have custom draw menus so we are really screwed.
 I am working on a amazing hack now.  I should be done in a day
or so.

P.S. I just typed in the switch and
I'm sure I missed some.

Let me know if you get stuck. I lived in the menu world for a few months
and
still remember most of the gotchas.

One free tip: You're almost certainly going to need a great big switch
block
for converting from a virtual key to the key equivalent defined in
NSEvent.h, and even then you will probably miss some. :-)
