I would use [self autorelease] instead. You never know if the method that closed the window might try to do something else with the window controller, causing your app to crash. With autorelease, you'll wait until whatever is going on finishes, and then release, and it's safer this way.

hi list !

i feel really newbie with this problem, since even after 2 years of cocoa development, i don't understand this basic problem :

well i have a myWindowController (does *not* herit at all from NSWindowController...) which manage one and only one window.
For me, the best solution would be to release the myWindowController when the user close the window it manages.

the myWindowController implements the delegate method windowShouldClose:
in the windowShouldClose:, can i do something like [self release] ?

i feel stupid to ask this, but something shock me with [self release]... i know i can do this in the init method, when self is the class, but can it be done safely from the instance itself ???

thanks to forgive my newbiness ;)
