Re: Running a modal Cocoa window in Carbon.

I started here to get the carbon-cocoa stuff going:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CarbonCocoaDoc/index.html?http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CarbonCocoaDoc/Articles/CarbonCocoaComm.html

and then in a c-wrapper function:
OSStatus orderWindowFront(Boolean makeKey)
{
    NSAutoreleasePool *localPool;
   
    localPool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];       
    [[myController sharedController] showWindow: makeKey];

    [localPool release];
    return noErr;
}

and then in the cocoa controller class:

- (void) showWindow: (Boolean) makekey
{
   
    [NSApp beginSheet: myWindow
       modalForWindow: nil
        modalDelegate: nil
       didEndSelector: nil
          contextInfo: nil];
   
    ........
   
    [NSApp runModalForWindow: myWindow];
    // Dialog is up here.
   
}

It's not a sheet that I want, but an actual app-level modal dialog/
