These items in the upper right are called status items, to distinguish
them from menu items that are in menus.
A likely reason for this is that you create the status item in
awakeFromNib, and awakeFromNib is being executed twice - once when the
main nib is loaded, and once again when your Registration nib is loaded.
You could fix this by moving the code to another method, such as
applicationDidFinishLaunching:, or checking if your status item exists
before creating it in awakeFromNib.

Hi,
I have an NSMenuItem in my application that toggles the visibility of
my application's main window. If the user hasn't entered a license
code for the application, I call a method in my main controller that
shows a custom sheet that asks them to register.
- (void) showTrialWindow {
if (!oRegistrationPanel)
[NSBundle loadNibNamed:@"Registration" owner:self];
// Other stuff
}
When I call this showTrialWindow, it will temporarily create a
secondary NSMenuItem in the user's menu bar. Is there a better way I
could load the nib so that it wouldn't create the secondary menu item?
Thanks for the assistance.
