I am creating an application that requires multiple modal windows. There is a main window, and there are multiple other windows that can be displayed from the main window (using a toolbar, buttons, etc.). These other windows need to be modal, that is these windows must receive all user input, and be closed before returning to the main window. These are important windows with many controls, and not simple dialogs. I have all of the bits and pieces of this app working quite well, and I am having some difficulty tying it all together with the GUI.
I do understand that there are many [very different] ways to accomplish this, but being new to Cocoa, I want to make sure that I choose a sound technique. Reading the user interface guidelines, I understand that all of these windows should be in separate NIB files, and loaded as needed for performance reasons. 1. What is the best way to instantiate the other windows? In this application, all of the windows are quite unique, and there will never be more than one instance of each. Should this be done in the main controller by loading the NIB, instantiating the other controller, and then showing the window? 2. I would think that this is a common application architecture (it is to me), however have not been able to find any sort of examples, in print or on the web. Is anyone aware of any that you could direct me to, no matter how simplistic? Thanks in advance for steering me in the right direction here.
