This would have been a better fit for the cocoa-dev mailing list, since this has nothing to with the Xcode IDE itself.

You are setting the menu on some view (whatever pimpl->getView() returns) rather than the NSStatusItem itself.  Set the menu property of the NSStatusItem rather than some view.  When it's on the view, it is a contextual menu for that view, which is presumably why it shows up on top of it.

Regards,
Ken

I have this cocoa code in order to show a menu when a “menu app” or menu-extras icon is clicked on
on the menu bar.  

Only trouble is it pops up on top of my menu-app icon, at the very top  instead of right _below_ the menu bar. What am i doing wrong ? 

here is the code in question: 


  // NOTE:  pimpl->statusItem is a  NSStatusItem* 


void SystemTrayIconComponent::createMenu()

{

    

    NSMenuItem *tItem = nil;

    

    pimpl->theMenu = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle:@""];

    [pimpl->theMenu setAutoenablesItems:NO];

    
    

    [pimpl->theMenu addItemWithTitle:@"One" action:nil keyEquivalent:@""];

    [pimpl->theMenu addItemWithTitle:@"Two" action:nil keyEquivalent:@""];

    [pimpl->theMenu addItemWithTitle:@"Three" action:nil keyEquivalent:@""];

    

    [pimpl->theMenu addItem:[NSMenuItem separatorItem]];

    

    tItem = [pimpl->theMenu addItemWithTitle:@"Quit" action:@selector(terminate:) keyEquivalent:@"q"];

    [tItem setKeyEquivalentModifierMask:NSCommandKeyMask];

    

    NSStatusBar *statusBar = [NSStatusBar systemStatusBar];

    pimpl->statusItem = [statusBar statusItemWithLength:NSVariableStatusItemLength];

   // [pimpl->statusItem retain];

 

    [pimpl->statusItem setToolTip:@"This is our tool tip text"];

    [pimpl->statusItem setHighlightMode:YES];

    [pimpl->getView() setMenu:pimpl->theMenu];

    

}



void SystemTrayIconComponent::showDropdownMenu(Point<int> mousePos)


    

    [pimpl->statusItem popUpStatusItemMenu: pimpl->theMenu ];


}
