  I got a view which would be attached to the menu. And something I need to
  track the mouse Entered & Exited message in that view.I find some piece of
  code in documentation said that a window will manage all the tracking
  rectangle.
  So I wonder if I attach my view in menu item, is that mean I can't tracking
  the mouse Entered & Exited message?

  A menu is a Window under the hood. If you wonder, why not try, it
  probably works?
  
  Just by curiosity, how do you do to add a view in a menu in Tiger?
  ([NSMenuItem setView;] was introduced in Leopard).

  Using carbon HIView , I think that should work. But I haven't try yet . What
  I think is after I finished my custom view , then attach the view to
  menuItem
