[Mono-osx] Enabling menu items

[Jon Lipsky]

Have you tried implementing the "validateMenuItem:" method in your first responder?  For example, if this is an document based application, you can place the following into your NSDocument subclass:

[Export("validateMenuItem:")]
public bool ValidateMenuItem (NSMenuItem object)
{
	var menuActionId = object.Action.Name;
   if ("yourActionNameHere:".equals(menuActionId))
   {
      // Return true if you want the menu item enabled.
      // Return false if you want the menu item disabled
   }
   
   return false;
}
