File bugs with OS X (although in the tree at Apple there is a Documentation (developer)/X component, if you can't find it they should be shuffled by the DTS engineer). As to the specific bug, we're well aware that the sheet documentation is inaccurate and inadequate, and are working to address it. We should have the inaccuracies addressed soon, the inadequacies a bit later. In our defense, the Cocoa implementation of sheets changed at the last minute, so this documentation used to be correct. Not in our defense, that was a long time ago... Thanks for the report; we're working on it.

Is it ok to send documentation bugs directly to you? There is apparently no place for that in bugreport.

Huh? Just file a radar under the OS X component, and it will be assigned to the developer tools documentation group.

Hm. I hope so! But it is jsut strange that there is no specific place for the documentation. Also none of the items in the "nature of the bug" popup seems convenient. Anyway for the current case I will use "other bug" and type something explicit for the subject, and "not applicable" for the severity. (Actually this last case has not been intended to be used: it appears as "(2) No Workaround" in the bug listing after submission!)

The documentation of NSBeginAlertSheet is the worse I have ever read (even at Apple), full of mistakes: incorrect names for the parameters, incorrect description, wrong declaration for sheetDidEnd and sheetDidDismiss (as functions, though these are methods), and it indicates DefaultReturn, etc.
, for return codes, though they are NSAlertDefaultReturn, etc.! That's a lot of errors for a ten lines description!
