Hi All,

I have the following:

statusItem = [[[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar]
      statusItemWithLength:NSVariableStatusItemLength]
      retain];
   [statusItem setHighlightMode:YES];
   [statusItem setTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%C",0x260F]];
   [statusItem setEnabled:YES];
   [statusItem setToolTip:@"Ring-Maker"];

   [statusItem setTarget:self];


The compiler complains about self; saying: iTunesPlugIn.m:606: error: 'self' undeclared (first use in this function)\


But I dont understand why it is complaining?


First guess:
It's not in a method of an object; it's in free-standing code.
To use SELF, you have to be in an object's method.
