Dock Menu Plugin for REALbasic line

In our recent tutorial we can read about drawing some useful informations on icon in Mac Dock. To extend this topic I like to show you BK Dock Menu plugin that takes advantage of the dock menu. We can add with this plugin some useful options to dock menu.

BK Dock Menu is a plugin for REALbasic developers that lets you use your Macintosh OS X (10.1 and higher) dock menu to its fullest capacity. BK Dock Menu allows you to create heirarchical menu’s, use custom icons (in your bundled REALbasic application) and use system icons in your menu. It implements virtually all Menu Manager functions to allow any kind of customization imaginable, which is always a good thing. BK Dock Menu plugin works only for Macintosh versions of REALbasic. It requires Macintosh OS X 10.1 or higher.

The Macintosh dock is handy and REALbasic lets you put a menu on it. However, if you need a heirarchical menu (sub-menu’s if you will) then BK Dock Menu is for you! Have an unlimited number of sub-menu’s. If you need custom icons in your dock menu, you can easily do this in BK Dock Menu. Using a tool such as AppBundler from Bit Juggler Software to create your bundle, you can use BK Dock Menu to access the icns icon files in the resources directory of your bundle and display them in your dock menu. See our example project on how to use this feature.
