As your window is in the same nib than your menu, you can simply bind
your menu item's action to the makeKeyAndOrderFront: method of the
window.
If you also want to add a button to close your window, bind the
button's action to performClose:
If you need a more complex logic, you can create an Outlet in your
controller (and create a controller class if you do not already have
one), bind this Outlet to your window, and then do whathever you want
with your window.

Hi Jean-Daniel,
I thought it would be something simple, which is probably why I
couldn't find any reference for it on Google :-)
Will check this when I get home.
If this is the case, how does one then go about opening and closing
the window, from say a menu item attached to an action ??
Thanks

Hi,
To prevent your window to open at startup, uncheck the 'Visible At
Launch' box in your window settings (in Interface Builder).
I don't know a supported way to create an application that appears
in the Dock but has the same behaviour than a LSUIElement.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Cocoa but have an application that's coming
along nicely. Mostly when I have come across an issue I have
managed to find a solution using Google but this particular one
has me stumped.
My application has three window, a notification window (similar to
Growl) that pops up when particular events happen, a window that
pops-up when the user clicks the dock icon and a preferences
window that pops up when the user selects preferences from a
StatusBarItem I have added to the status bar (or at least thats
how it should work). All windows are in MainMenu.nib
The problem I'm having is that I don't want any windows to open
when the application launches, and at the moment the notification
window opens (as it's the only windows I've actually implemented
so far), and I also don't want a main menu because I've added a
custom menu to the status bar. I've looked at NSUIElement and
LSUIElement but they remove the dock icon also, and I need the
dock icon, plus they still launch the window.
So ultimatley my question is, how do launch/setup my application
so that I get a dock icon, but no menu bar and so that no window
is opened when launched, only when the user does something that
prompts a window.
Thanks in advance.
