MenuBarController simplify the process of creating menubar apps for OS x that have some non-trivial action for the left mouse button (like some popup window or custom view), and menu for the right.
By default you can set up your own behaviour on menu bar OR use standart menu. This framework allows you to do both.
1. Import the framework:
@import MenuBarController;2. Set up MenuBarController instance with image, menu and click handler:
self.menuBarController = [[MenuBarController alloc] initWithImage:image menu:menu revert:mode handler:^(BOOL active) {
}];3. Fill block with needed behaviour. Use active variable to detect if user clicks the left mouse button (active == YES), or clicked the right (active == NO).
4. Use the mode boolean to switch between displaying the menu right or left. (mode == YES) will make the menu display on right click and (mode == NO) on left click. When switching the behavior while running use:
[self.menuBarController setRevert: mode];This can be usefull because performing an action on left click and displaying a menu on right click per default is not allowed in the appstore.
Since OS X 10.10 Apple introduces some changes to NSStatusItem API, so most of the api is absolete. You should use button member in NSStatusItem and set up template image on it, so it could be represented right according to current system preferences (dark menu bar mode etc.). More about changes in 10.10 you can find on StackOverflow thread and Developer Forum.
