How to make my own 'dock' like menu from App Icon?

Subject: How to make my own 'dock' like menu from App Icon?

I need a "Windows Start Bar" like program for Windows users using Macs.

I'm using Cocoa/Objective-C.

I want to make an application that is just a dock icon that displays a dynamic menu when the application icon is clicked. I'm currently doing this with the Dock Menu but it's confusing users that they have to click for 1 second also hings like "Run at Login" and "Remove from the Dock" are in that menu and can't be removed.

I have already done this with a dynamic dock menu, the app reads a text file to create the menu structure but it's in the 'official' Dock Menu.

Can I make a menu appear above my Dock Icon on a click in the icon?

I'm a bit stuck on:

1) how to detect a click on my App's Dock Icon.
2) how to workout where the Dock Icon is on the screen

Virtual PC has a start icon that does this so it must be doable.

Regards, Rob.
