OK, I am making a twitter updater and I am having one problem. I can not display the window that tells if the Tweet was sent or not. My issue is that I need to make a window appear. That’s it. I’ve used “makeKeyandOrderFront_(sender)” and so many. I don’t know what to do. Can someone help. Here is the script that I got:

Code Offline
makeKeyandOrderFront_ should be makeKeyAndOrderFront_. The easiest way to change it is to set it to | makeKeyAndOrderFront_|
There’s a lot to be said for copying and pasting method names from Help…
Nothing Worked. UGH… Can someone help. Also, Show me an example. (thank for posting so early, Shane)
Please help immediately!
That’s not very helpful…
Sure:
property secWin : missing value
on hitButton_(sender)
secWin's |makeKeyAndOrderFront_|(me)
end hitButton_
And if you have fixed the name of the method as I suggested earlier, that’s going to be of no help.
Try logging secWin’s class and make sure it’s correct.
I want to be able to make a window pop up with Applescript. Also, show me an example. Please look at the code and see the comment “–EDIT THIS”
I logged the numbers 1,2, and 3. Here’s the code:

This is what I got:
That means you’re sending the command to an NSView, not an NSWindow. I’d guess sendwindow is connected in IB to the window’s content view, not the window itself.
People: if you have a problem and it results in something appearing in the log, please post the log. Posting reams of code is pointless if the problem isn’t in the code.
THANK YOU! FINALLY, I (almost) FINISHED MY APP!
