It is connected. I even went as far as deleting the panel and replacing it with a window and a drawer and back again. None of them works!

< Sorry - thought it was still off-list ... reposting to list. >

The absolute most common cause of this is a disconnected outlet. Even if you've verified before, take another look to make absolute certain the outlet is properly connected in the nib. Sometimes I even go as far as to specifically disconnect, then reconnect an outlet if I'm having trouble - that sometimes "fixes" whatever went wrong.

No, I am creating it with nibs. The difference I mentioned is that I am not using a previously built nib like the other person.

All I did was create the nib, make the connections and ran the code. It simply didn't work.

You should reply on-list - more people can help you this way. :-) Also, you mentioned you're not using a nib; that you created this panel yourself (I assume you mean in code). If so, *that* is the code you need to post -- since it's nil, that implies a problem at creation, so we need to see the creation code.

This is the code that is suppose to open the panel.:

- (IBAction)openIncreaseBudget:(id)sender{
if(increaseBudget != nil)
{
[companyFundsField setStringValue:[theCompany get:@"finances"]];
[increaseBudget makeKeyAndOrderFront:sender];
}
else
NSLog(@"Increase Budget is NIL for some reason: %@", increaseBudget);
}

Please post your code.

Hi,

I am trying to open an NSPanel using makeKeyAndOrderFront: but the window won't open. I do this at runtime when the user clicks a button.

When I jumped into the debugger, the value for the NSPanel was nil. After reading a post on this mailing list about another person experiencing a similar problem except their panel opens in awakeFromNib: while mine doesn't. theya re using an existing NIB while I am creating mine.

OK, I have several panels and drawers (6 to be exact). Prior to this panel failing to be initialized, the others initialized and opened just fine. In an attempt to work around this issue, instead of using a panel, I tried a drawer. But that was not initialized either when i tried it. then a standard window, but that failed.

To sum up the problem:
I have several panels and drawers, but any new panels/drawers/ or windows I add gets initialized to NIL. The old ones work fine. Any ideas?
