The right way is to make sure something in your program retains a pointer to your window controller. Sometimes there will be an obvious place, like a member of the object that created the window controller. That is most typical. Worst case is you retain a pointer in some global variable or similar, but that also has a greater danger that you will forget to zero it out when you are finished with it, and it won't get collected. Some of my temporary dialog box controllers inherit from a class that puts itself in a global dictionary when created, and removes itself when the window closes.

I use GC in my app, and unless I specifically disable collection for a window controller, it's destroyed as soon as it loses key. I solved it by setting the controller as the delegate of the window, disabling collection for the window controller in windowDidLoad, and re-enabling it in windowWillClose:. Is there another way? -B _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
