IIRC, to create an actual menu extra is not a public API. Apple do provide NSStatusBar and NSStatusItem for menu items designed to only appear while your app is running.

However, I'm not sure you can actually take your program out of the dock whilst it is running if you do that.

Hi everyone,
I want a menu extra (one of those cute little menus that reside in the menu
bar on the far right) for my app. I don't want it to be a .menu but a .app
that will appear in the dock, like a regular app, but can then be switched
to just a menu extra, so it's no longer in the dock but just in the menu
bar.


Thanks, Alan
