macOS: Adding a divider between NSMenu NSMenuItem's?

How do you add dividers to a status bar menu in code? E.g.

let menu = NSMenu()
let editMenuItem = NSMenuItem()
editMenuItem.title = "Preferences..."
menu.addItem(editMenuItem)

let quitMenuItem = NSMenuItem()
quitMenuItem.title = "Quit"
menu.addItem(quitMenuItem)

self.statusBarItem.menu = menu

In this example, I'd like to add a divider between the first and second items.

Solution

  • If you mean a separator there is a class method

    let menu = NSMenu()
let editMenuItem = NSMenuItem()
editMenuItem.title = "Preferences…"
menu.addItem(editMenuItem)

menu.addItem(.separator())

let quitMenuItem = NSMenuItem()
quitMenuItem.title = "Quit"
menu.addItem(quitMenuItem)

self.statusBarItem.menu = menu
