1. I wish to create an NSStatusItem. I have ObjC Code to do so, but how can I do this in C++?

You can't. Cocoa is a Objective-C framework, and you'll need to write Objective-C code to use it effectively.

2. Can anyone point me to a reference of using Apple's Frameworks with C++ rather than ObjC?

3. How does one use a .C or .CPP file and call functionality in a .M?

You have three options, basically.

1. Write C glue functions in your ObjC source files. The ABI for C functions is unchanged in ObjC (unlike C++), so you can freely call these from C, and can call them from C++ with an extern "C" declaration.

2. Use Objective-C++, as Nick Zitzmann suggested. It's a ugly hybrid of ObjC and C++ - it'll let you use both languages in one source file, but don't expect anything really creative (like C++ objects as member variables of an ObjC object) to work quite correctly.

3. Use the Objective-C objc_* runtime functions. I wouldn't recommend this route.
