I am trying to create a small item in the status bar, which when I click, I can show at a glance a small calendar... kind of like how Gnome does it. Really convenient and better than loading the full dashboard at times.. Anyway I using rubycocoa and this is the code I am trying to have to work.


I should clarify that all I am trying to do is to get the initial position of the new item on the status bar to position a small window (like a contextual menu) right under that icon when clicking on it.


Have you tried using [NSStatusItem setView:]?


IThe hackFrame method was returning the result of a the [ _fWindow Frame] method. But if I cannot access the _fWindow since it is private, not sure how else I can

I will look at those methods then. But this is what I am up to (using RubyCocoa)

  statusbar = NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar
  @item = statusbar.statusItemWithLength(NSVariableStatusItemLength)
  image = NSImage.alloc.initWithContentsOfFile("cal.png")
  @item.setImage(image)
  @item.setAction :clicked

calendarController = CalendarController.alloc.initWithPosition(@item.hackFrame) <== I need the frame here
