macOS Launching a HUD Window

[stadidas]

I'm sure this is probably very simple, but I've been looking around for a way to load a window from a NIB file and can't find anywhere that tells me what I need.
Basically, I have a HUD window (NSPanel) in my MyDoucment.nib that I want to load when a button is pressed on the main window. I have attached an action to this button, I just need the code that will load a window from the NIB file. I know how to do it as a sheet, I just can't seem to figure out to launch a separate window.

Thanks for any help!

you're button action should be like this:

-(IBAction)actionName:(id)sender {
 NSPanel* panelName;
 [panelName makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}

... i think... i'm fairly new too but that's how i'd write it...

Excellent, the makeKeyAndOrderFront: method worked a treat, cheers.
