Here you could be mistaken. Even if Haiku has the API now, it might be gone
tomorrow. That is what private API means -- it can change at any time and
should therefore not be used by application developers.

You can use private API -- and if there's no public API offering the same
functionality, you'll have to do that, if you need that functionality -- but
you likely won't find it in a public header. That is you'll have to get the
header or at least the relevant definitions it contains from "somewhere". In
this case just copy from the Deskbar code.
