I'm rewriting an old legacy app in Cocoa and have run into a
stumbling block. The app is supposed to support having multiple
windows open, but the window content is unrelated to the concept of a
document - which is the "normal" multiple window model. Instead the
windows provide a UI to perform specific calculations, among other
things. An example of what I'm looking for would be if you had a
version of the Calculator application where you could create multiple
calculator windows so you could leave several calculations "open"
simultaneously, if that makes sense.
When I start up the app, an instance of the window is created, but I
can't figure out how to get it to repeat the process in response to
selecting New from the File menu. I've found a bunch of info on
multiple document windows, or a single non-doc window plus a
preferences window, but nothing on instantiating multiple non-
document windows. Did I just miss something basic, or is all of the
magic really focused on NSDocumentController, etc.?
