If it's for windows where the number of them is under user control, then I
typically add them to a an array (which is a strongly retained property) then
you can either listen for window closing notifications and remove them, or if
the user may open the same window again, then you can check the array before
creating a new controller. If the controller for that window exists, then you
can just reshow it. I use this pattern a lot, so it was easy for me to find an
example:
- (void) showEditorForItem:(id)item
{
// check if we have an editor array already
if (self.editorControllers == nil) {
self.editorControllers = [NSMutableArray array];
}
BOOL foundController = NO;
for (EditorController *editor in self.editorControllers) {
if (editor.item == item) {
[editor showWindow:self];
foundController = YES;
break;
}
}
if (foundController == NO) {
EditorController *editor = [[EditorController alloc] initWithItem:item
managedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
[editor showWindow:self];
[self.editorControllers addObject:editor];
}
}
