    <p>I am making an app that is a standalone menu item and the basis for the code is sample code I found on a website. The sample code uses a number as the menu icon, but I want to change it to an image. </p> <p>I want it to be like other apps where it shows <code>icon.png</code> when not clicked and <code>icon-active.png</code> when clicked.</p> <p>The current code is this:</p> <pre><code>- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect { // Draw background if appropriate. if (clicked) { [[NSColor selectedMenuItemColor] set]; NSRectFill(rect); } // Draw some text, just to show how it's done. NSString *text = @"3"; // whatever you want NSColor *textColor = [NSColor controlTextColor]; if (clicked) { textColor = [NSColor selectedMenuItemTextColor]; } NSFont *msgFont = [NSFont menuBarFontOfSize:15.0]; NSMutableParagraphStyle *paraStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init]; [paraStyle setParagraphStyle:[NSParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle]]; [paraStyle setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment]; [paraStyle setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail]; NSMutableDictionary *msgAttrs = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: msgFont, NSFontAttributeName, textColor, NSForegroundColorAttributeName, paraStyle, NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, nil]; [paraStyle release]; NSSize msgSize = [text sizeWithAttributes:msgAttrs]; NSRect msgRect = NSMakeRect(0, 0, msgSize.width, msgSize.height); msgRect.origin.x = ([self frame].size.width - msgSize.width) / 2.0; msgRect.origin.y = ([self frame].size.height - msgSize.height) / 2.0; [text drawInRect:msgRect withAttributes:msgAttrs]; } </code></pre> <p>Also, I found a post describing a method on how to do this, but it did not work for me. The url to that is this: <a href="http://mattgemmell.com/2008/03/04/using-maattachedwindow-with-an-nsstatusitem/comment-page-1#comment-46501" rel="nofollow">http://mattgemmell.com/2008/03/04/using-maattachedwindow-with-an-nsstatusitem/comment-page-1#comment-46501</a>.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COWhat exactly is your question here? Your post's body seems entirely unrelated to its title.

    2. COWell as of now, the menu bar icon is a number. I want that to change to an icon but I'm not sure how to do it. I posted the code that draws the number.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
