[MacRuby-devel] Focus window from second XIB

[Robert Payne]

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
