There's possibly (probably?) a better way to design your interface that doesn't require "latching on" to the Dock. Remember: - the dock may be on the left, right or bottom of screen (or even the top of screen for those who like messing about with unsupported preference settings) - the dock may be set to auto-hide - the dock may be set to grow when the mouse moves over it (will your window resize every time these users mouse over the dock)? - the dock will grow and shrink as apps are added/removed/launched/quit - the dock will grow and shrink as windows are minimised and restored - users can (and will) resize the dock on a whim - users can (and will) change their dock hiding settings regularly (particularly those on lower res screens such as laptops or older machines) Of course if you're just trying to do this for an app for yourself go nuts!
