I have un-checked the "Visible At Launch" option for the default window in MainMenu.xib file. But then, I could not find out how to show it programmatically...

Do anyone know how to show this window, un-modally?

Thank you at advance!

First, you should build an connection from this window to an IBOutlet variate. Then you can use this variate to make window visible by calling the "orderFront:" method, just like "[window orderFront:self];". Here's the link.

If you want to activate your window and make sure its on top of other windows you need to call makeKeyAndOrderFront:. This will ensure that your window pops up on all other windows(even from other windows). orderFront will not make your window the key window(i.e the topmost/active window)
