    <p>What is the height of the frame of the view? Maybe your view is taller than the menubar and you are drawing outside of it. The current menubar is 22 pixels, but you should ask the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSStatusBar_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSStatusBar/systemStatusBar" rel="nofollow noreferrer">systemStatusBar</a> for it's <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSStatusBar_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSStatusBar/thickness" rel="nofollow noreferrer">thickness</a>, just in case it ever changes.</p> <p>Try drawing a frame around your view to see if you are getting anything.</p> <pre><code>[[NSColor blueColor] set]; NSBezierPath *path = [NSBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:self.bounds]; [path setLineWidth:4.0f]; [path stroke]; </code></pre> <p>If you get just an 'L' shape (the bottom left corner) of blue then the view is too large. If you get a rectangle but still no text then you may not be drawing the text inside the view, look at the coordinates you are drawing the text at (and review <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaViewsGuide/Coordinates/Coordinates.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002978-CH10-SW1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">View Geometry</a>). Putting the view in a window may have worked because it is larger.</p> <p>For an example of using text in a status menu view take a look at Matt Gemmell's <a href="http://mattgemmell.com/2008/03/04/using-maattachedwindow-with-an-nsstatusitem" rel="nofollow noreferrer">NSStatusItemTest</a> project.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Sorry, somehow I missed where you said you created the view in IB. I did a quick test and I can see the white box you mentioned. </p> <p>The docs for <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSStatusItem_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/NSStatusItem" rel="nofollow noreferrer">NSStatusItem</a>'s <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSStatusItem_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSStatusItem/setView:" rel="nofollow noreferrer">setView:</a> states</p> <blockquote> <p>The custom view is responsible for drawing itself and providing its own behaviors, such as processing mouse clicks and sending action messages.</p> </blockquote> <p>And status item views go into a special (apple private) window called NSStatusBarWindow that may have different internal behavior than normal windows and certainly seems to not support views from IB.</p> <p>So yes, I think you need to create a custom NSView subclass and do your own drawing in drawrect:.</p>

    1. COHeight of my view is exactly 22 pixels. Does your code example go into drawRect implementation? Actually, I don’t even implement it, should I? I thought it would draw itself automatically since I’ve made it in IB. Thanks.

    2. COThanks for additional info you mentined in your edit. I actually saw this line in the doc, but didn’t know what follows :-) In case drawRect:ing works for me, I’ll accept your answer later. Anyway, it seems weird you can’t just use view from IB...

    3. COAwright, I won: it happened to be some weird side-effects of window-view autosizing setup in IB. I re-configured the sizing in IB, and now it works perfectly. Let’s call this kind of side-effects, the *size-effects*

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.
