What does the `.title` property in `NSMenu` exist for?

I'm now building up a menu bar app in Cocoa, and uses NSMenu instance to assign to the .menu property of NSStatusItem. However, NSMenu is initiated by calling NSMenu(title: ) class method, while I don't know where the .title property is used in my app.

I tried to click on the menu bar app to expand or click on the inner element of NSMenu (NSMenuItem instance). However, I wasn't able to find anything I specified as the .title property (TITLE in my case, just for the illustration purpose's only).

So what is the purpose of specifying .title? Where does it used in my app?

  • It's used for Sub-Menus, like in your menu bar the "Edit" menu, which is a NSMenu.

    NSMenu Title
