Hi,

I have a window controller that i'm creating dynamically in the
applicationDidFinishLaunching: app delegate notification. In this window
controllers windowDidLoad:, i'm adding subviews to it's content view. When i
create it then call showWindow: on it, the window shows up on screen without
any subviews in then it seems to update with all the subviews in it, this
causes a sort of visible flash. Has anyone seen this and does anyone have
any idea why this might be happening?

Uncheck the "Visible at Launch" checkbox in IB. With that box checked, the window gets displayed right when the nib loads, before your windowDidLoad method (no colon, note, it does not take a parameter) is invoked. You then add subviews to it after it's already visible, leading to a flash. And then of course your window controller tells the window to become visible, but this does nothing because it already is.

If you uncheck that box, the window will be invisible when first
loaded from the nib. This will allow you to do whatever setup you need
and then the showWindow: method will make it visible "manually"
afterwards.

Mike
