I am new to OSX programming and recently started a demo project for OS X 10.10. Found this -> http://cocoatutorial.grapewave.com/tag/menulet/ good tutorial to add menulet in OSX status bar. The problem is My project is using swift language and the methods and project structure/files are somewhat different. I would like to know if anyone has successfully tried this on Yosemite? Thanks.
Edit: Specific question would be how do i replace awakefromnib method to work with present AppDelegate.swift syntax?
The whole thing is this...
class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
@IBOutlet var window: NSWindow // Remove this and delete window in IB to remove window
// ... also, remove MainMenu from IB.
@IBOutlet var statusMenu: NSMenu
var statusItem: NSStatusItem? = nil
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: NSNotification?) {
// Insert code here to initialize your application
}
func applicationWillTerminate(aNotification: NSNotification?) {
// Insert code here to tear down your application
}
override func awakeFromNib() {
self.statusItem = NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar().statusItemWithLength(CGFloat(NSVariableStatusItemLength))
self.statusItem!.menu = self.statusMenu
self.statusItem!.title = "Status"
self.statusItem!.highlightMode = true
}
@IBAction func doSomethingWithMenuSelection(sender : AnyObject) {
println("Action pressed")
}
}
I just copied it from your link, and translated to Swift. It still shows a window, etc., which should be trivial to remove... UPDATE showed how...
(and of course I'm running it on Yosemite)
