Cocoa, can't make window appear programmatically

I am having a problem making a window appear programmatically.....

I have created the window in the interface builder and I have a window controller class

I have and IBOutlet NSWindow mywindow in the controller class that is bound to the window (via interface builder).

I have tried calling [mywindow display] and [mywindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil] but neither display the window.

If in the interface builder I set 'Visible at Launch', the window is visible when the application launches, but now I can't hide it... calling [mywindow close] does nothing.

I think I have missed something pretty basic here but can't work out what.

Are you sure you're calling this code from within the IB window controller instance and not from a programmatically created instance? Try with NSLog(@"%@",myWindow); to check whether myWindow is nil.

Ensure that Release When Closed check box for mywindow is unchecked in attribute inspector

Make sure that 1) your window exists, 2) that the connection is made in IB, and 3) the coordinates of the window aren't off-screen.
