Agent application will not pop up menu on mouse movement

Hi

My agent application will not automatically respond mouse movement.
Please suggest if there any property.

that is ...Select a menu bar item, like "File", "Date and Time",
etc... it will automatically pop up menu.
BUT when cursor moves over my application, it is not poping up menu.

Are you writing a Cocoa application? For this kind of action to happen,
your application's front window has to be active and set to accept mouse-
moved events ( send the the window, e.g., myWindow the message [myWindow
setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES] ). Then, the NSView object that
generates the menu has to be subclassed by you and include an override
for the mouseMoved: message). This NSView subclass must also contain a
menuForEvent: method to generate the menu.

Once the mouseMoved: method detects the menu position, it will send a
message that would look something like

[NSMenu popUpContextMenu:aMenu withEvent:anEvent forView:self]

where anEvent comes directly from the mouseMoved: method's parameter and
aMenu is whatever menu is called-for. However, once the menu becomes
active, it will persist until a selection is made - if you want to allow
the user to track off the menu to make it vanish, you could set a menu
delegate that has the method

- (void)menu:(NSMenu *)aMenu willHighlightItem:(NSMenuItem *)anItem

if anItem is nil, the user may have tracked off the menu (unless it has
disabled items or spacer lines) and you will want to send [aMenu
cancelTracking] to make the menu go away and restore focus to the
original NSView object.
