Donald,

If all you want to do is change the name of the document that is displayed in the document window, I believe that you can just override NSDocument's displayName method.

I have a document based application that has the following definition in my NSDocument subclass:

- (NSString *) displayName
{
NSString * s = [theAccount getAccountName];
if (s && [s length] > 0)
return s;
return [super displayName];
}

This seems to do the trick for me -- no custom window controller needed.

If you need the custom controller for other things, then....

Does anyone have a sample code snippet for installing a custom window
controller for a document? I want to modify the document window title, and
this seems to be the way to do it. I have read over the documentation and
see the methods I need to work with. I must override -makeWindowControllers
in my NSDocument subclass to create my custom window controller. Do I need
to send [self makeWindowControllers] somewhere? (Where?) Also, it says I
must send the -addWindowController message to add my controller to the
document's list of controllers. Again, where should I do this? In -init? In
-makeWindowControllers?

Thanks for any help,

Don
