Custom view with NSProgressIndicator in NSMenuItem

Question

I have a couple problems with custom view in NSMenuItem.
First - view is 'blocking' mouse and keyboard events for NSMenuItem.
I've found code for mouse events:
- (void)mouseUp:(NSEvent*)event {
NSMenuItem* mitem = [self enclosingMenuItem];
NSMenu* m = [mitem menu];
[m cancelTracking];
[m performActionForItemAtIndex:[m indexOfItem:mitem]];
It works just fine. What about keyboard events?
I've tried - (void)keyUp:(NSEvent *)theEvent and - (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent but these methods seem to be never called.
Or is there a method to 'forward' all events to view's parent?
Second - setHidden on NSMenuItem doesn't hide my custom view. setHidden on both - NSMenuItem and it's view make them invisible, but there is blank space left (other NSMenuItems hide 'normal') - what to do with it?
Third - on custom view there is NSProgressIndicator. If it's animation is starting when menu is open - everything is fine, it's animating. But when menu is closed and than opened again there is no animation. I've read in documentation, that method - (void)viewDidMoveToWindow is perfect place to start animation, but when I do something like - (void)viewDidMoveToWindow {
[progress startAnimation:self];
} the method is called, but there is no animation. How to get the animation started every time the view is visible?

Answer 1

ok. I dont't know why (most likely because of my crappy english ;]) but we can't understand each other ;]
there is no problem with a shortcut. I haven't set and even think about a shortcut yet ;] forget about a shortcut
what is my problem - when I higlight 'normal' menu item and press return/enter - metod attached to it is invoken, just like with mouse click. normal situation with navigating through normal menu using keyboard.
No problem with that - creating NSMenuItem, connecting with IBAction - everything works great.
BUT
setting custom view for NSMenuItem = problems.
mouse clicking - ok, find how to get this work
enter/return click - no idea, not working.
maybe this will clear a little bit my problem - sample project with instruction, just run it: http://cl.ly/0d2d844808be5f181934
