Hi Sven, Creating a window wont necessarily make it the Key or Main window. What I tend to do is always disable the "visible at launch" checkbox inside interface builder and do something like def menu_preferences(sender) preferences = PreferencesController.new preferences.center() preferences.makeKeyAndOrderFront(self) end -Robert On Mar 2, 2011, at 8:11 AM, Sven Schwyn wrote:

Hi

For the preferences, I've created a second XIB. However, when the corresponding controller is instantiated, the window does appear but does not gain focus. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

preferences_controller.rb: class PreferencesController < NSWindowController def windowNibName() return "Preferences" end end

application_controller.rb: def menu_preferences(sender) preferences = PreferencesController.new end

The Preferences.xib has a delegate which points to PreferencesController which has it's window outlet point to the window. The File's Owner is also set to the PreferencesController.

Thanks for your help! -sven
