applications does put their menu onto its right part.

I think this can not be done with Carbon under MacOS X.
This could be done with Cocoa:
As Status Menu Item (using official OS X API, recommended way):
http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000052.php
Or as MenuExtra (using unsupported private API, not recommended because it
could broke with future versions of MacOS X):
http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000078.php
Please note what for Cocoa programming where is a separate maillist. If you
would like to ask/discuss something Cocoa-specific, this better do in the
appropriate list.

As far as I know u cannt implement "System Menu" with Carbon API.
You would have to have at least a small part of your project as Cocoa
application or MenuExtra.
