In this line: NSRect frameRect = [[statusItem view] frame];
the method -view is returning nil, and thus so is -frame, which means frameRect contains garbage (or NSZeroRect if you're lucky). Create a dummy view and give it to the status item before asking for the frame. Keep in mind, you will only get a value relative to the view's superview, so that'll be useless too. -Steven On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 2:23 PM, fabian <cocoadevl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I once noticed that this code caused an assertion failure when placed > in awakeFromNib. > > NSStatusBar *statusBar = [NSStatusBar systemStatusBar]; > statusItem = [[statusBar statusItemWithLength:26] retain]; > NSRect frameRect = [[statusItem view] frame]; > MyStatusItemView *theView = [[MyStatusItemView alloc] > initWithFrame:frameRect]; > [theView setDelegate:self]; > [statusItem setView:theView]; > [theView release]; > > I didn't think much about it then - I simply moved the code to > applicationDidFinishLaunching and everything was fine.
