I'd also like to hear answers to this...

If I am understanding your question correctly, what I have done in these situations is to put the code in the window controller's showWindow method. Usually I have a method such as refreshScreen which clears controls or sets them to default values. I call this in showWindow, and reset any variables too. Seems to work for me, but maybe there is a more appropriate way...

Let's say you open a window and want to fill in some of the controls
with values (the window is in a separate nib). I create an instance of
the new window's controller and load the nib. I use an init method to
load up the data in the fields. But if the user closes the window then
reopens it it still has the old values...I'm assuming that's because
the window is not being released when it's closed, it's just being
hidden. What is the proper method to insure that I can load up the
values whether it's on the initial opening of the window or subsequent
"unhiding"? Thanks in advance for any tips.
