You can also use -windowShouldClose event and simply hide your
application instead of closing the window. Clicking on the dockicon
will simply show it.
- (BOOL)windowShouldClose:(id)window {
[[NSApplication sharedApplication] hide:self];
return NO;
}

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.

This depends on your application.
A document based application will automatically create a new untitled
document for you. Which is generally what you want. If you app is
really
document based, its best to use the document based project template.
If you app is not document based (say Mail or System preferences)
then you
have to consider what the expected / correct behavior is. Mail
stays active
when you close all of it's windows (checking email in the
background). For
this behavior use -applicationDidBecomeActive: to check if any
widows are
shown. If not, then show the expected window.
For some (rare) apps on OS X, staying open is not expected /
wanted. For
example, System Preferences quits when you close its one and only
window.
This can be done via -
applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed.
If this is just a test app, you might want to try them all to get a
feel
for it. But for a real app, consider very carefully which behavior
you want.

Hi,
I have created a simple application in cocoa.
when it is ran, the main window appears and a default dock icon in
the
Dock.
If i close the window, the dock icon still stays. But if i click
on the
dock
icon then also the main window is visible.
The only way i can see the main window is by quitting the app and
launching
it again. Is there any way in which upon clicking on the dock,
the application window becomes visible.
Thanks
Arun KA
