I'm using CodeWarrior to build a MachO app with Carbon API's.
I have just succeeded in using BeginQDContextForApplicationDockTile() and EndQDContextForApplicationDockTile() to overlay a visual alert on my application's dock icon when updates occur in its error log. However, the visual changes to not appear until I force the dock to redraw with dock magnification. I cannot find an API to redraw the dock. I got the idea from Apple's Mail program from its display of the number of unread messages in its inbox, so there must be a way to do it. I hope it is not a Cocoa only capability.

You need to flush.

It is always important to practice good hygiene.
This is what I was missing. I need to call it right before EndQDContextForApplicationDockTile();

QDFlushPortBuffer( theTilePort, NULL );

Glad that worked for you.
