So you have an NSStatusItem, and you want it to pop a dialog for whatever reason, perhaps a settings window. Where should that dialog be positioned? If you’re not placing it centered on the main screen, you probably want it under the status item itself. How does one get it there?
The basic answer is surprisingly simple.
If you’re like me, you want your dialog to be positioned directly underneath the status item that spawned it. This makes it obvious to the user, and it simply looks nice. Unfortunately, however, Cocoa doesn’t give you an obvious way to get the position of the status item on the menu bar, which makes it a bit more difficult to determine your target position.
Since you probably received the action that spawns your dialog from a menu item, however, you can get around the problem. Just have a look at the window associated with the current event, and off you go:
- (IBAction)myEvent:(id)sender {
NSRect frame = [[[NSApp currentEvent] window] frame];
NSSize origin = [[NSScreen screens][0] visibleFrame].size;
[myDialogWindow setFrameTopLeftPoint:NSMakePoint(frame.origin.x, origin.height)];
// ... and whatever else you need to display your window.
}
This code will position the window just beneath the menu bar, right at the left edge of your status item. There are additional tweaks you’ll want to make, of course, such as ensuring there’s actually enough room to display your entire window, but I’ll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
Enjoy!

Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay.
I’m undoubtedly enjoying your blog and look forward to
new posts.
I’ve been browsing on-line more than three hours nowadays, yet I by no means discovered any fascinating article like yours.
It’s beautiful value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the net
will likely be much more useful than ever before.
Hi, all is going perfectly here and ofcourse every one is sharing
data, that’s actually excellent, keep up writing.

Kroot are a solid choice for the points. They
are 3 pts cheaper per model than firewarriors and start at a
squad of 10 go up to 20 with options of adding even more models(I think
you can max out at like 35 models between kroot, hounds,
and krootoxs) Their utility comesnfrom their
flexibility; they come with Move through Cover, Infiltrate, and stealth(forests) meaning they have a lot of deployment flexibility and mobility as well.
I love to outflank with them to grab objectives in my opponents backfield.
Bathing Suits It is near the beginning of my biking season and
it was the first time this year that I biked to the beach.
When I got there I was really tired and hot but
I went for a long walk anyway. After that I alternated between resting and walking.
I echo what others have said: No one cares what you
look like naked and no one will be examining your body for flaws or to perv on you in a single gender onsen. Unless you are a transgender person who has not had surgery, there is
literally no reason to avoid a single gender onsen. The West is a weird place in which nudity is seen as gross or shameful,
whereas the rest of the world has learned to see it as something totally normal..

Bathing Suits Reading intends to begin construction in Q2 2016 for projected opening Q4 2017 at an estimated
total cost of $27.0 million (AU$35.0 million)Courtenay Central entertainment center expansion (Wellington, New
Zealand): Reading received local City Council planning approval
in May 2015 for a supermarket development. Note, the previously announced
Countdown supermarket development with an estimated cost
of $11.5 million (NZ$17.0 million) had been delayed by severe damage to car park caused from Wellington earthquake.In an August 2013 Seeking Alpha article on Reading, I discussed a valuation of at least $100MM for just the two above mentioned
New York City redevelopment projects, Cinema 1,2 3 and Union Square,
combined. Since 2013, New York City real estate values have continued
to skyrocket and Reading’s plan to further
redevelop these parcels creates additional long term value for Reading and its shareholders.

and projected 5% AFFO growth this year and that even includes the non payment of rent on properties
from an education tenant. The market doesn’t like EPR because it’s a REIT and it owns a lot of
(high end) cinemas, but concerns on the latter point are overblown. Box office revenues are generally
stable and AMC is in reasonable fiscal health.. beach dresses

you should eat based on some idea you have does
not count as overeating either. Overeating can be a big problem but so can not eating enough.

bikini swimsuit So, my Ikea cabinets are going in (kitchen reno)
and we run into some issues with the deco strips/side panels.
Looong story short, they going to cut down the side panels so that they shorter than they are now (3/4″) and not going with deco strip at all. Installer is recommending I go with 1/2″ to hide the lights which will
have to be led strip lights now, because they miscalculated and I won pass inspection if I
have less than 18″ finish height between top of counter and bottom of cabinet.. bikini swimsuit
Sexy Bikini Swimsuit Ah, well. I in the middle of much too much right now. 3 points submitted 9 days agoI getting lazier and lazier with shows. What a world we live in. It is hard though when there is this weird notion that positive forces (god/ vibes/ hope) can just rid people of ailments and there are people who claim it’s worked for them. Maybe it’s easier to trust these strong worded anecdotal stories than scientist without emotional stories? Maybe people don’t like having an illness that needs professional treatment? Who knows Sexy Bikini Swimsuit.
