Posts: 25                My app is a NSMenuItem item app and I have set 
LSUIElement in my info.plist so that the Dock icon is hidden.

So far, so good. But I want to allow the Dock icon to show under certain 
circumstances (like the user setting preferences). I can't write to the bundle 
to change LSUIElement as it's a Mac App Store app.

I understand that TransformProcessType 
(http://cocoadev.com/wiki/TransformProcessType) is the way to do that - is 
there a way to use this from MacOSLib or is there a Declare I can use?

Thank you very much if you can help with this one...

ProcessMBS.TransformToForegroundApplication function.

or you the declare.

Posts: 25                I'm sure this could be done with a simple Declare but 
I can't figure it out.

I don't have your plugins Christian - if I did, is there a way to transform it 
back into a background/helper app after I've used 
ProcessMBS.TransformToForegroundApplication?
