Re: Programmatically placing an item in the dock

I know what I'm wanting to do used to be possible (link is from 2002), so I wasn't sure if it had migrated over to 10.5

This "solution" will also kill all the user's Dashboard widgets, so it's not to be taken lightly.

Quite simply there is no public API to control the dock. The closest (and hacky) solution is to modify the dock's plist and restart it.

Hi everyone,

I would like to add and remove an item in the dock (preferably with a nice poof when removed) programmatically without restarting the dock. I can't find a way to do this in 10.5. Do any of you know if this is possible?

Thanks,
Ollie
