I'm developing an application in cocoa using xcode and this is my first time programming using this environment and language. Can anyone tell me how to control object properties and how to get it where when i click a button I can swap between windows.

You control object properties the usual way: Call getter methods on the objects to read them, and setter methods on them to change them. I'm not sure that's what you wanted to know, but it's my best guess at what you asked.


"Swap between windows" is a little vague, too. If you mean swap out the views of one window (many Windows programmers mix up the distinction between a window and a view, which the Mac makes, but Windows doesn't), then look at NSTabView. It doesn't have to have its border or tabs visible, and can still be used to switch between its "pages". Just call the appropriate methods on the tab view from your button's action method.

If you actually want to close one window and open a new window, just do that: Write an action method that calls close or orderOut: on one window, and then opens or orderFront:s the new one. If you just want to change from one window to the other, just orderFront: the new one, and the old one will stay there, but in the background.

If that doesn't answer your question, I'd suggest you try to rephrase it.
