popUpStatusItemMenu - how to highlight the NSStatusItem

• Martin Batholdy popUpStatusItemMenu - how to highlight the NSStatusItem Jun 11 2011, 00:33
  Hi,
  
  I have a NSStatusItem in the systemStatusBar.
  Now I would like to have the possibility to show the menu of the StatusItem with a keyboard shortcut.
  
  I can do this with the popUpStatusItemMenu-method of the NSStatusItem class.
  However by using this method, the status item in the statusbar doesn't get highlighted (like when I click manually on it).
  
  Is there a possibility to switch a statusItem to highlight-mode programmatically?
  
  thanks!
