That works great except for the first time the window is opened...I guess I could use awakeFromNib for the initial opening of the window, except for one glitch: I am passing a value (a dictionary) to the window controller and using key-value pairs to load the edit fields. Since the edit fields aren't available yet during awakeFromNib I can't load them up yet. I seem to need something like "afterBeingAwakenFromNib"?
Perhaps a broad overview of what I am trying to do is in order: I have a window with a table view loaded up with data. I want to have the user be able to double click that table and have a new window open with the data from the selected row loaded up in edit fields. Using Jan's suggestion I have it working except for the initial opening of the window.
Many thanks for the tips and for any other advice!

You could probably override showWindow: in your NSWindowController subclass.

- (void)showWindow:(id)sender {
// Set values here.
[super showWindow:sender];
}

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.
