Okay, i think that makes sense. I guess need to figure out some way to get the reference to the current window that is open, so I can call the close method on it. Is that a correct approach? Also any ideas on passing data from one window to the other? --- Buddy Lindsey http://www.buddylindsey.com http://www.twitter.com/buddylindsey On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 8:49 PM, Charles Steinman <acharlieblue@gmail.com>wrote:

I have had some good success in getting large chunks of my app done, but there are a few things that I can't seem to figure out, or at least get to working. I was able to figure out how to open up a new window that was based on a xib file, but what I really want to do is open the new window and close the current one which opened the new one. Also in the process of opening the new window I want to pass some data, at this point a single string. What is the best way to go about this? My lack of experience with cocoa, and by extension objective-c, is really killing me on figuring this out. Unfortuneatly there isn't just a simple close() method to call.
There actually is a simple close method, both on NSWindow[1] and NSWindowController[2]. Unless I'm misunderstanding, you should be able to proceed pretty much as you described.
