Uncheck 'Visible At Launch' in the attributes Inspector with the Window selected.
No it will not display until you tell it. So you might do NSWindow *w = [NSWindowController window] This wil cause your willDidLoad method to be called then you might [w makeKeyAndOrderFront]; and if you want it to always be on top regardless of active app you can [w setLevel:NSFloatingWindowLevel+1]; On Feb 29, 2012, at 12:03 PM, Howard Moon wrote: > Hi, > > I've added a Panel to a nib for an audio plug-in I'm working on, and am > having trouble determining how the IB Inspector settings relate to the actual > objects, such as an NSPanel.
