I figured it out. Below is the code that I am using to position a
panel near my NSStatusItem's location. The first method returns an
NSPoint of the origin of my NSStatusItem's window. The second uses
that point (if it's not 0,0) to move the NSPanel to be right under
the NSStatusItem. The first time it's used, I can see the panel move
to the location of the NSStatusItem. Subsequent times, it just
appears there, as it's saving its last location to preferences.
/**
* statusItemOrigin
* Figures out the location of our NSStatusItem
*/
-(NSPoint)statusItemOrigin
{
NSView *o =(NSView *)[appMenuButton superview];
/**
* showRunPanel
* Displays the "run" panel
*/
-(void)showRunPanel:(NSMenuItem *)item
{
// Get location of my NSStatusItem
NSPoint o = [self statusItemOrigin];
NSLog(@"showRunPanel");
// Bring window to front and display
[runPanel orderFrontRegardless];
[runPanel makeKeyWindow];
[runPanel display];
// move to under NSStatusItem
if (o.x>0 && o.y>0)
{
NSLog(@"move panel to %f, %f", o.x, o.y);
[runPanel setFrameTopLeftPoint:o];
};
};

I am attempting to fid out where my NSStatusItem view (an NSButton)
lives on the screen, so that I can place a popup window close to it.
The NSButton reports that its superview is an NSNextStepFrame, from
which I cannot get a frame. It doesn't seem to behave like an NSView.
I don't really know what an NSNextStepFrame is. Does anyone else?
