Your perception of -makeKeyAndOrderFront: (the correct method, by the way), depends entirely on what you mean by "not already there". Give this a thorough read so you understand windows the Cocoa Way: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/WinPanel/WinPanel.html Also, note that the docs for -close: say: "If the receiver is set to be released when closed, a release message is sent to the object after the current event is completed. For an NSWindow object, the default is to be released on closing ..." So if you've closed it and it's released, subsequent calls to -makeKeyAndOrderFront: don't really make sense. You'll want to tell your windows to -orderOut: if you want to use them again. -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
