Hi,
not sure if understand your question.
I am assuming
1. you want program to start from double click of document file
2. you want to be able to open program by clicking application file but do not
want the app to open an empty document window.
Create a document based application.
Create an application delegate file
// MyApplicationDelegate.h
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface MyApplicationDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate> {
}
@end
// MyApplicationDelegate.m
#import "MyApplicationDelegate.h"
@implementation MyApplicationDelegate
- (BOOL)applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile:(NSApplication *)sender {
return NO;
} // end applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile
@end
In mainMenu.xib link the application's delegate outlet to MyApplicationDelegate
And that's it.
