but if i press on dock icon,

click on dock if it is close to reappear?
See:
- (BOOL)applicationShouldHandleReopen:(NSApplication *)theApplication
hasVisibleWindows:(BOOL)flag
in NSApplication docs.
Oks, in this way i can catch the user event click on my icon in the doc, but in which i can restore the windows? There is a way to reopen the windows that the program open when the app is launched the first time? How to implement this function?

I think you're misunderstanding something here: When you close the last window, you're doing *only* that, you're closing the last window. If you look at the menu bar or the dock after closing your app, you'll see that it is still *running* and the current application. Just that it has no windows open anymore.

If you want your application to actually *quit* when the last window is closed, there's an NSApplication delegate method for that (applicationShouldQuitWhenLastWindowCloses: or something like that).

If you don't want your application to quit, you need to manually reopen the window. E.g. for a document-based application, NSApp will automatically open a new untitled document when you click the dock icon and no documents are open. -- Cheers, M.
