Hi, I have an NSStatusItem app. The item works, I can use setTitle and that shows up, but my icon wont show up.
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">NSStatusBar *statusBar = [NSStatusBar systemStatusBar];
NSStatusItem *statusItem = [[statusBar statusItemWithLength:NSSquareStatusItemLength] retain];
NSImage *myIcon = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:@"myIcon.tiff& quot;];
[statusItem setImage:myIcon];</pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">I added the image to the resources and all that. I also tried initByReferencingFile to init the image, no difference. Can anyone think of anything?
TIA,
Mark

I just tried that, same thing. All I'm getting is the blank space where it should be. I'll keep working on it, any other ideas?

Try:
NSImage *myIcon = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myIcon" ofType:@"tiff"]];

just an idea... where do you declare the nsstatusitem? in the method that sets it up? have you tried moving the declaration to your header file?

The statusitem will still exist even if you don't have a pointer to it.

The problem was I put the image file in PB resources(like you would for an app icon), but it needed to be in IB's images panel( <img border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" title="" src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" /> ). Thanks for the help.

agnus, you're right, of course. stupid me.
vasudevelopa, you mean you're storing the images *inside* the nib? that's possible, but that method of storing images is deprecated.

Really? I don't understand why the image wouldn't draw until it was added to the NIB. All of the code posted should potentially work...
