I have successfully been able to create a small Cocoa multiple document
project whose GUI consists of a NSProgressIndicator, or wheel, and a Button,
titled Spin. In the .nib window, the Controller is ctrl-dragged to the
wheel, specifying an outlet wheel and the Button is ctrl-dragged to the
Why are you autoreleasing the NSProgressIndicator? That means that
