opening and closing a window programmatically in cocoa

Question

I have two nibs in my project. I have been digging around the interwebs to figure out how to make a button close or hide the nib that the button is on and open another one. The other nib would have a button that does the same thing but in vice versa.

I don't have the faintest idea where to start with this. IF someone could just make a sample class and methods for this i might have something to work with.

Answer 1

Remove window from the screen

[window close];

---

Hide the window (doesn't release it)

[window orderOut:self];

---

Move the window to the front of its level in the screen list (= show window)

[window orderFront:self];
