macOS Making a window visible and invisible

[Chirone]

hi all, this time it should be a simple question....

the only way i can see how to do this is to set a window's alpha value

surely there is a clean way to just toggle between having the window open and closed right?

i saw a close method but no open method... what's the opposite of close if it's not open? 😕

you can make it not visible when the program starts up, that's great and all, but it would be nice to make it visible on the click of a button/menu item... 😕

nevermind, ive probably found the answer here

even though it's way out of date i'm sure the process is still the same



yeah, nah, the code fails

2009-04-14 16:37:35.397 <project name>[11790:10b] init OK in TheWindowController
2009-04-14 16:37:35.405 <project name>[11790:10b] -[ProjectManagerControllerUI loadWindow]: failed to load window nib file 'TheNibWindow'.

yet the sample code worked
i love how this always happens..... 🙁

disregard everything i said in this thread

i had a typo in the name of the xib file..... *drunk* (see i told you it was an easy question this time 😉)
