Because of certain quirks of Interface Builder's assumptions about windows,

However, I've just started putting NSAlert sheets up in front of my window,
and now I discover that when a sheet closes, the close button is enabled
again! I can counteract this by calling setEnabled:NO again, every time, but
shouldn't this behavior count as a bug? m.


PS Okay, you might ask, what quirks? Well, I want a utility window with a
Minimize button but no Close button. But if you specify no Close button for
utiity window in Interface Builder, you get no buttons at all (including no
Minimize button)! I regard this as a bug too (or at least kind of wacky).



Matt,

Utility windows cannot be minimized (at least they should not ... see the AquaHIGuidelines) - that's probably why an NSPanel with 'Utility Window' checked and only 'Minimize Button' selected shows no title bar controls at all.

I made a test with a Utility Panel with checked Minimize and Zoom buttons (Close unchecked) and added the following code in awakeFromNib. It seems to work as expected (before and after an alert sheet) :

[[utWindow standardWindowButton:NSWindowMiniaturizeButton ] setEnabled:YES];
[utWindow update];


I didn't succeed in enabling only the Miniaturize button and keeping the state of the two other buttons after the alert sheet is ended. There is a similar effect after the sheet is displayed: the second checked button (which i had to check to made the controls visible at all) becomes enabled ... I guess you will to use your little trick for this or maybe you can fix it in a subclass of NSPanel.

Hope that helps ...

Dominik
