Hi Daniel. You can narrow your question down quite a bit. You've implicitly asked several questions - some of which you can easily answer yourself.

1. Does awakeFromNib get called? Answer by adding an NSLog statement or set a breakpoint.

2. Is centerWindow connected correctly? Answer by examining the variable after breaking in awakeFromNib.

\3. Does the nib that contains your controller even get instantiated at runtime? One easy way to answer this is to add a window that has "visible at launch time" set.

These questions are all more pressing than wondering whether or not "makeKeyAndOrderFront" works or not. Of course it won't work if it never gets called or gets sent to a nil object.

I am having trouble getting a window to become the frontmost window on startup.

In appController.h I declare a window.

IBOutlet NSWindow *centerWindow;

I connect the controller "cube" instance to the window to be opened, connecting the "centerWindow" outlet that is available after reading files. But when the application starts up, the window does not appear in front of previously opened apps. (This is a menu- free app, by the way, but I don't think that should matter.)

I thought that if you instantiate the controller within Interface Builder, then it will be "ready to use" when the application awakens the nib. My code is quite basic:

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
[centerWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}
@end

....to no avail. I'm missing something terribly basic but still can't find it. I thought that maybe I have to explicitly call awakeFromNib, but then read it is called automatically. What's missing?
