I have a lobby style window that pops up when my application launches
(like a welcome window with options) in my document based app. The
window is part of my application's main nib, and is set to be visible
at launch time. This works fine, it shows up when the application
starts and the application seems to automatically not create a new
document at run time.
I'd like to be able to bind "Visible at launch time" to
NSUserDefaults in order to allow the user to tell my application to
no longer show that window on startup. I can't directly bind to it,
so I was looking for a way progmatically set it on the fly. But I
can't find anything in NSWindow that lets me set this property or
subclass to override this property. I'm assuming Apple hasn't made a
way to set that on the fly because it's under normal circumstances
the window would wake and show before you could possibly set this
property. Is there any way to achieve what I'm trying to do? I'm
trying to keep the code nice and clean and let the document based
application do as much of the work as possible.
Sorry if this has been posted before. Without a good place to search
the archives I wasn't able to see if someone had already posted this.
If I'm going at this the wrong way and there are better ways to
implement a welcome window in a document based app please let me know.
