Is there a way to wrap up an NSAlert, the beginSheetModalForWindow call, and the alertDidEnd implementation, such that a caller can just call one function which blocks until the alert is dismissed?

NSAlert has the -runModal method. However, that makes the alert application-modal rather than window-modal. It's not a sheet, and the application can't be used for anything else until the alert is dismissed.

For the vast majority of applications this is the wrong user experience. However, for certain rare kinds of applications it's appropriate.

Cheers,
Ken
