OSX: How to "show" a status item?

Question

Ok I have a status menu application with a Hide menu item.

By clicking on "Hide" calls:

[[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] removeStatusItem:statusItem]

which of course removes my application from the status bar, even if it still works.

I want my application to be re-added to the system status bar when a user "opens" my application in the "Applications" folder. The problem is that I cannot insert part of the code to do this inside the "ApplicationDidFinishLaunching", because the application is already open. So what should I do?

Answer 1

-applicationDidBecomeActive:, , , , , .

Answer 2

? , , , applicationDidFinishLaunching:

    // Install status item into the menu bar
myStatusItem = [[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] statusItemWithLength:NSSquareStatusItemLength];
NSImage *statusImage = [NSImage imageNamed:@"Status.png"];
[myStatusItem setImage:statusImage];
NSImage *altStatusImage = [NSImage imageNamed:@"StatusHighlighted"];
[myStatusItem setAlternateImage:altStatusImage];
[myStatusItem setHighlightMode:YES];
[myStatusItem setMenu:self.myStatusMenu];
[self.myStatusMenuItem setTitle:@"Show"];
