Body
In one of my first Cocoa applications I have just a single window with 2 <code>NSTextField</code> instances - for user text input and of output of text processing. If my user clicks on the red x on the top left, the window closes but the application is still running and icon stays in the dock - the normal Mac behavior. When the user double-clicks on the icon in dock or on the desktop, this does not reopen the window - apparently also normal Mac behavior, but confusing to the user. To get the app back into a running state, the user has to force Quit from the main menu or the context menu, and restart the app by clicking on one of the icons. I searched Apple doc and forums, and it seemed that the following should prevent the closing of the window (my first preference : hide the widow so it can be reopened later) : <ol> <li>add a delegate to NSApp</li> <li>delegate implements <code>-applicationShouldHandleReopen</code> which calls [mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self]; and returns TRUE</li> <li>delegate implements <code>-windowShouldClose</code> which returns FALSE However, although <code>-windowShouldClose</code> is called, the window closes.</li> </ol> What am I missing here? As an alternative (my second preference), I added to the delegate <ol start="4"> <li><code>-applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed</code> which returns YES</li> </ol> This works, i.e. the application closes when the used clicks on the red x, and the user can restart the app later without further ado. Clarifications and pointers to specific doc and working code examples would be appreciated. Rudi

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
