What about using windowWillClose: to reset the values? Or to create a 'closed' state to be tested by windowWillBecomeMain:?

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.

I'm curious about this myself. "windowWillBecomeMain:" is no good, because it will get called if the user momentarily selects another window. I can't use "isVisible" to check whether the window is currently closed or not, because minimized windows also show up as invisible. I can't tell whether a window has been ordered out, because there's no accessor for that. There aren't any notifications when a window is ordered out, either.
