Of course, I could launch this process from within the same click handler above, but I believe it will be better to do it all in the WindowController's module, related to the popup panel. My question is: what window delegate message should I use? Will it be OK to use windowDidBecomeKey message or should I use windowDidExposed? Or whatever else?

For example, I have a "Cancel" button on this popup panel, which should terminate the launched process and (as a result of NSTask termination notification) panel should be closed. For the sake of simplicity let's imagin, we're closing the panel by button directly:

There is an easy solution - do it in your window controller. Since it is responsible for opening and closing the windows, it knows when to cause these other events as well. I wouldn't use window activation or key notifications since that relates purely to its appearance which likely as not has nothing to do with your logic as such - the window coming up and going away are further effects of this logic, not its causes.
