Thanks Peter, I succeded with this code:

    NSPopUpButtonCell *btnCell = [[NSPopUpButtonCell alloc] init];
    [btnCell setMenu:myContextMenu];
    [btnCell performClickWithFrame:[sender frame]
            inView:[sender superview]];
 
    [btnCell release];
    [myContextMenu release];


Best Regards
