No, the dock extra and menu extra API's are both still private.


Take a look at the at the 10.1 Developer Release Notes at
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/ReleaseNotes/AppKit.html, search
for "NSApplication Dock Interaction" for similar functionality.

You can't have the same functionality since you need your Application to be launched by the user to show the Menu.

That is/was the interest of dock extra, they were the complete equivalent of ControlStrip Module.

Now if you want to have the same feature, you need to create an application and TELL the user to add the application to the login item.

If you have a background app, you can make it launch this application. But it's not a good solution, since the user needs to be able to choose whether he wants this application to be launched or not. Of course, you can then create another application to configure this, and maybe ...

Well, I'm quite disappointed...
