The Cocoa docs say the correct way to handle "cascading" sheets is to present them one at a time, closing each one before opening the next. I'm in a situation where that would be a kind of a pain in the butt to implement.

Not sure that's a great reason to diverge from the HIG. Reminds me of a dark joke we had at a place I used to work: "we'll do the right thing, as long as it's convenient."

While I agree with that, I'm facing that exact problem myself now.
I'm going to show some related windows - which really should be designed as sheets - in a screen saver configuration dialog, which is a sheet itself. Now the problem is, since my screen saver is only a plugin, I simply *can't* close and reopen the configuration sheet.

So what should I do? Use regular windows or display sheets on a sheet?


bye. Andreas.
