Creating a new document with an NSDocumentController subclass

I have an NSDocumentController subclass and I'm overriding the -newDocument: method.

How do I create a new document with a title? This is the short version of what I have which works but the document first shows with "Untitled" and then changes to my custom title. I would like the new document to open up immediately with the custom title.

MyDocument *document = (MyDocument *)[self openUntitledDocumentAndDisplay:YES error:&error];
[document setDisplayName:@"My Title"];

I tried this but it doesn't work for me. The document doesn't show up.

MyDocument *document = (MyDocument *)[self openUntitledDocumentAndDisplay:NO error:&error];
[document setDisplayName:@"My Title"];
[document showWindows];

You are missing the step where you make the window controllers associated with the document.

[document showWindows]; only shows the windows already associated with the document.

You need to send the document -makeWindowControllers, or make them yourself, as appropriate, and send the document -addWindowController: before sending it -showWindows.
