Re: Cocoa - Not loading any window at startup ...

FROM : Jean-Daniel Dupas

As your window is in the same nib than your menu, you can simply bind 
your menu item's action to the makeKeyAndOrderFront: method of the 
window.
If you also want to add a button to close your window, bind the 
button's action to performClose:

If you need a more complex logic, you can create an Outlet in your 
controller (and create a controller class if you do not already have 
one), bind this Outlet to your window, and then do whathever you want 
with your window.
