Thanks for replying
I think that I didn't explain myself very well
I have done a little search and now I can call the things with their names
What I actually wanted to do is to add a NSStatusItem to system NSStatusBar.
And to response myself, the way to do it is using something like:
Code:
NSStatusItem* item = [[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] statusItemWithLength:65.0];
[item setTitle:@"Test"];
Please consider allowing the user to enable/disable this icon. While having an icon in the menu bar can sometimes be convenient for a commonly used application, it can get to be rather cluttered when there's developers who don't allow their users to remove the icon.
