I was wondering, if anyone has any suggestions as to how to have a
sheet that is modal for an NSTabViewItem (in that, you can switch
between the tabs when its displayed, just, when on the tabviewitem
which has the sheet displayed, you cant do anything until the sheet is
dismissed...
I don't think so. Sheets exist within the context of a window... In
order to do what you want, the sheet would have to pop down from
underneath the tabs, right? I'm pretty sure that's not possible.

It *might* be possible, since apple does something similar, where the
sheet pops out of the toolbar, rather than the window (in the "Customize
Toolbar..." thing)...
However, I have decided not to, as I didn't think of the problems that
might impose on a user, that Eric pointed out.
It might be useful reference however, if someone has any idea how to
have sheets pop out of objects other than the Window, like how Apple
does with the Customize Toolbar sheet.
