modal dialogs


  • Subject: modal dialogs

I realize that apple discourages the use of traditional modal dialogs in cocoa. however, sheets do not cascade. therefore if you have multiple levels of modal input, sheets wont do. I've redesigned my app as much as I can but I still need one level of modal input/dialog (dialogs actually) to make it work.

however, because apple mislikes modal dialogs in cocoa, there is no sample code as to how to implement them. can anyone point me to some source that will illustrate for me how I can implement a modal dialog in IB/PB? failing that, can someone run me through the process of creating the nib and the code (calling, institution, invocation and implementation) to make a modal dialog work in cocoa?

I will gladly use sheets where I can but I still need to fall back on more traditional UI where they fail.

TIA,
