This depends on your application.
A document based application will automatically create a new untitled
document for you. Which is generally what you want. If you app is
really document based, its best to use the document based project
template.
If you app is not document based (say Mail or System preferences) then
you have to consider what the expected / correct behavior is. Mail
stays active when you close all of it's windows (checking email in the
background). For this behavior use -applicationDidBecomeActive: to
check if any widows are shown. If not, then show the expected window.
For some (rare) apps on OS X, staying open is not expected / wanted.
For example, System Preferences quits when you close its one and only
window. This can be done via -
applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed.
If this is just a test app, you might want to try them all to get a
feel for it. But for a real app, consider very carefully which
behavior you want.

Hi,
I have created a simple application in cocoa.
when it is ran, the main window appears and a default dock icon in
the Dock.
If i close the window, the dock icon still stays. But if i click on
the dock
icon then also the main window is visible.
The only way i can see the main window is by quitting the app and
launching
it again. Is there any way in which upon clicking on the dock,
the application window becomes visible.
Thanks
Arun KA
