I would start by creating a NSDocumentBased app using the Xcode template and examining it. This app is fully functional even though it contains just the document class and the nib. The reason it works can be found in info.plist under CFBundleDocumentTypes. This defines the NSDocument class to use. In MainMenu.xib you can see that File New sends newDocument: up the responder chain. This passes up the chain to NSApplication which (having loaded Info.plist) knows to create an instance of your document class. To create a document in code just send newDocument: up the responder chain with a nil targeted action [NSApplication sendAction:@selector(newDocument:) to:nil from:self] Regards Jonathan Mitchell _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
