How can I create a StatusbarItem in Cocoa-Applescript, Xcode 5? I searched everywhere and I could only find the answer for Cocoa. If this isn't possible, is it possible to embed an Applescript file in a normal Cocoa app that would act like the one in normal Cocoa-Applescript apps? Thanks in advance.

AppleScriptObjC can access most of the Cocoa API, but pretty much any example you find will be in Objective-C, so you just need to do some conversion. A statusmenu is actually fairly easy - something basic is just a few lines of code. I have an older example project on my website that uses a statusmenu to demonstrate converting from Objective-C - it can be downloaded here.

Thank you Red_Menace!
To make it easier for others to find the answer, this is a clipped (and slightly modified) code from Red_Menace's project to make a basic StatusBarItem:
property NSImage : class "NSImage"
property NSStatusBar : class "NSStatusBar"
property NSStatusItem : class "NSStatusItem"
property StatusItem : ""
property MainMenu : missing value
on applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
set StatusItem to NSStatusBar's systemStatusBar's statusItemWithLength_(current application's NSSquareStatusItemLength)
StatusItem's setImage_(NSImage's imageNamed_("icon"))
StatusItem's setMenu_(MainMenu)
StatusItem's setHighlightMode_(true)
end applicationWillFinishLaunching_hi is there a way you can post an example project file?
