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.
If you use sheets, Apple recommends handling nested modals as follows:
User opens sheet A and does something that requires sheet B. The app
closes sheet A and opens sheet B. User does stuff in sheet B and clicks
OK. App closes sheet B and re-opens sheet A.
There is some code for this in the developer documentation at
"file:///Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/
ProgrammingTopics/Sheets/Tasks/UsingCascadingSheets.html".
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 don't have any sample code, but check
"file:///Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/
ProgrammingTopics/WinPanel/Concepts/UsingModalWindows.html".
