As your window is in the same nib than your menu, you can simply bind your menu item's action to the makeKeyAndOrderFront: method of the window. If you also want to add a button to close your window, bind the button's action to performClose:

If you need a more complex logic, you can create an Outlet in your controller (and create a controller class if you do not already have one), bind this Outlet to your window, and then do whathever you want with your window.

Hi Jean-Daniel,

I thought it would be something simple, which is probably why I couldn't find any reference for it on Google :-)

Will check this when I get home.

If this is the case, how does one then go about opening and closing the window, from say a menu item attached to an action ??

Thanks

Hi,

To prevent your window to open at startup, uncheck the 'Visible At Launch' box in your window settings (in Interface Builder).

I don't know a supported way to create an application that appears in the Dock but has the same behaviour than a LSUIElement.

Hi,

I'm relatively new to Cocoa but have an application that's coming along nicely. Mostly when I have come across an issue I have managed to find a solution using Google but this particular one has me stumped.

My application has three window, a notification window (similar to Growl) that pops up when particular events happen, a window that pops-up when the user clicks the dock icon and a preferences window that pops up when the user selects preferences from a StatusBarItem I have added to the status bar (or at least thats how it should work). All windows are in MainMenu.nib

The problem I'm having is that I don't want any windows to open when the application launches, and at the moment the notification window opens (as it's the only windows I've actually implemented so far), and I also don't want a main menu because I've added a custom menu to the status bar. I've looked at NSUIElement and LSUIElement but they remove the dock icon also, and I need the dock icon, plus they still launch the window.

So ultimatley my question is, how do launch/setup my application so that I get a dock icon, but no menu bar and so that no window is opened when launched, only when the user does something that prompts a window.

Thanks in advance.
