Alternatively, you could use the NSApp delgate method -
applicationWillBecomeActive: to show your window in the case of
windows-based apps.

Hello,
I'm writing a Cocoa single window based app. When the window is
closed, I'd like my app to continue running, which happens by
default in Cocoa. However, when someone clicks my app's icon in
the dock while the window is closed, I would like to automatically
reopen my main window (like most apps do).
Is this what most apps do?
I've seen lots of document-based apps which will open a new
document when their dock icon is clicked, but that's not really the
same thing. For window-based apps, I don't know if it's such a
standard thing.
Hmm. The Finder does something like this, but it's not Cocoa
based :) The Terminal works this way also, and doesn't appear to be
document based... so it's a good idea.
I'm sure there is a default cocoa method to do this, but I cannot
find it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
You could just watch for notifications for when your app becomes
active, and then show your window again. Doesn't seem like it'd be
more than a few lines of code.
