To me this sounds like an exception is occurring during code called when clicking the close button. Anything in the console?

Okay, now I have another problem. When the window in question is closed programmatically using -orderOut:, I can bring it back using - makeKeyAndOrderFront: , and then order it out again and repeat this procedure as many times as I want. However, when I click on the window's close button, when I bring it back with - makeKeyAndOrderFront:, the window "freezes" and its close button appears constantly held down (the window isn't being released when closed). How should I handle this? Do I need to use an NSWindowController (and how do I do this), etc.

Thanks again for all the help thus far!

Well, I can think of something. I do this all the time for things like an info window. I have an app controller with an IBOutlet to the window I want to hide and show and I call [aWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self] to show it and [aWindow close] to hide it. You need to make sure that you have the "Release when Closed" checkbox turned off in IB to make sure it doesn't, uh ... get released when closed.


If it's not showing when you do this, look in the debugger console to see if you are getting an exception and check in the debugger when you are about to show it and see if it's stale.

Hope that helps.

Matt
