In response to your original post, when you made the window controller for the window, did you add it to the document's controller list?


Yes.


I have an app with up to three windows/document, two of which are only created at need through menu actions. When you close them, they go away along with their window controllers (- removeWindowController: is called automagically).


Ahh, I thought about that method, but I didn't notice removeWindowController, so I couldn't figure out how to get my windowController pointer set to nil when the window was dismissed.

Anyway, I ended up essentially doing what Sherm suggested off-list, which was to iterate through the controller array and check to see if the info window was already open. Since I'm not using custom window controllers, I looked at the nib name. Here's my code (critique welcome!):

- (IBAction)showInfo: (id)sender {
    NSArray *controllers = [self windowControllers];
    NSEnumerator *enumerator = [controllers objectEnumerator];
    NSWindowController* controller;

    while (controller = [enumerator nextObject])
        if ([[controller windowNibName] isEqualTo:@"Properties"])
            break;

if (controller == nil) {
controller = [[[NSWindowController alloc] initWithWindowNibName:@"Properties" owner:self] autorelease];
[controller setShouldCloseDocument:NO];
[self addWindowController: controller];
}


    [controller showWindow:self];
}

It seems to working. Thanks for the help!

Derrick
