Assuming there are no open windows in your application, clicking the

one implement this? The app I built from the "Simple Text Editor"
project from Mike Beam at O'Reilly did it, but I can't figure out how.
The application I'm working on is not document based. It has only one
window and some alert panels. I figured out how to implement the "New"
command from the File menu, but this is vexing me.
For the life of me, I cannot figure this out by myself. I knocked
around in Interface Builder for a good, long time. I searched the
documentation, the ADC, and the list's archives, and for all I know I
read right over it. But, I tried -- I swear!
Hi!
Clicking on an application's icon in the dock either launches it or
makes it the front application if it is allready launched. This is not
directly an order to open a window. You may or may not open a window if
it is appropriate for you in such cases.
You can look at NSApplication.h and use a notification like
applicationDidBecomeActive: in order to know when to open a window.
