Mac Menubar Again...

[Sarah Reichelt]

The Mac menus DO respond to the mouseDown, but they don't know which 
menu has been selected.
If you have a mouseDown handler in the menubar's group, it will be 
triggered, but you will have to set ALL the menus at that point as you 
have no way of knowing which is going to be displayed. (In Mac's once 
the mouse button is clicked down in a menubar, it can be moved from 
side to side and will display any menus under the pointer.)

Cheers,
Sarah
