I try to implement the menu in the NSStatusBar systemStatusBar.

I would appreciate if anyone have any hint as to why the menu will not drop down, and show the menu items. Must be something I am missing here.

Hi,
I do not think, that a daemon is the right place to implement a UI. It is the definition of an deamon, that it has no UI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computer_software)
Build a front-end is the better design.
Cheers

I have developed a daemon which is launched by launchd. It have no user interface, other than putting up a status menu with an icon at the status bar. The menu icon is showing up, but nothing happens when I click it.

NSLog shows that the menu exists, and have items in it. I have the same code for making a status menu in an ordinary Cocoa application, and there I have no such problem.
