When you create a skeleton, non-document based, Cocoa application
and run it, the default behaviour of the close button seems to hide
the window and not quit the program, but then it's not possible to
restore the window by clicking the icon in the dock. This is
different from command-h which hides the window but allows it to be
restored from the dock.
That's because the close button closes the window, it doesn't hide it.
However, most applications make the close button work just like
command-h.
No they don't.
What most document based apps do when users click on their dock icon
is this:
1) If the app has open, unhidden documents, they are brought forward
2) If the app has open, hidden documents, they are unhidden and
brought forward.
3) If the app has no open documents, one is created for the user
In most cases, single window non-document-centric apps should
probably quit when their window is closed (think System Preferences,
Calculator, etc).
