I'm redirecting this to tcl-mac as it is mac-related, though really
filing a bug at http://tcl.sourceforge.net (under Tk Toolkit) is more
appropriate.

I can confirm your error with the 8.4.7 that ships with OS X, however
this has been fixed in the Tcl/Tk core (8.4.7 is fairly old).  You can
newer versions of Tcl/Tk for OS X at http://www.activestate.com/Tcl.

Jeff

Hi all,

Are there any packages for, or is there Tk functionality to create, a
popup menu launched from an icon next to the clock on the Mac menubar?

http://pc.autons.net/stuff/osx-menubar-icon-menu.png

Essentially, I'd like to be able to install a menu similar to ones
already there for Volume, Internationalisation and the Display.

Icons in the popup menu itself aren't necessary.

Cheers for any and all suggestions.


Pete.

Hi Pete,

I think this would have be coded as a Tcl/Tk extension. The relevant API
appears to be NSStatusItem:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSStatusItem_Class/Reference/Reference.html

I have some interest in this feature myself, so I may do this at some
point, but not in the immediate future.
