Making the Name of the App appear in the Menubar (top-left corner) when the App is LSUIElement

How would I make the name of the app appear here ( like with a normal app )…

alt text http://snapplr.com/snap/6sgc

… when the app is an LSUIElement.

My Problem is that when the App is LSUIElement the name is not by default displayed in the menu bar like an normal app. Basically all I want LSUIElement to do is to hide the dock icon not the name in the menu bar.

For those who's native language isn't English, when I say 'App' i mean 'Application'.

Thanks.

Don't do this; it's not what users expect. A dock icon and menu bar go together. If you want to get both a dock icon and menu bar icon in your UIElement app, use TransformProcessType.

If you really must, you can draw your own menu bar window (if you use the appropriate window level it'll appear over the top of the existing menu bar).
