Thanks for the reply. My app is not a document based. I tried using the applicationDidBecomeActive to bring up my main window. It works only when my application is not active. i.e., when the MenuBar is occupied by other application. If i launch my app and close the window, the menu bar is still occupied with My App's menu bar. If noe i click on the dock icon, the window will not come up. I need the window to come up.
