I see a huge performance degradation with this method.
Does anyone know how is this implemented with drag/drop.
I see the application keeps receiving drag messages, even when the mouse
pointer is outside the window, until the mouse up event fires.
Thanks!

On what even do I hide the window? mouseDown or any other mouse
related NSResponder event does not get called when it occurs outside
of the view client area.
Why do you need to open a window, why not just use a regular menu
with a custom view? One obvious answer to that question might be that
you need to support versions of Mac OS X prior to Leopard - Is that
the case?
On 10.4 and later you can probably use the CGEventTap API to find the
information that you're looking for.

Cool, thank you! Looks like what I needed, I will give it a try now
and see how it works.
I want it to provide a custom control on the system menu, that has one
small icon and an arrow next to it. When the user clicks on the arrow,
it changes between location that he is interested in monitoring at the
moment. And when the user clicks on the icon, a custom window is shown
with all the details. So it is just a much more convenient way to
change locations. And of course this "arrow button" would be
hidden/shown on the custom status bar as set in the preferences dialog
to conserve space. Just want to make it as easy as possible to use and
save clicks for some users.
Thanks!
Vance
