Modal for document?
Modal for document?

I'm making an document based application that will have a primary view
window, but a potentially infinite number of detailed view windows
associated with a single document. Some things that can happen in a
detailed window may need to propagate throughout all the document's
associated windows. I could put up a sheet in the window that starts the
update and run the whole app modal for that, but there's no reason this
should block the user from working on other documents while this is
happening.
What I want is essentially a modalForDocument: call, which would block any
activity that changes a single document, but leaves the app as a whole
responsive. I can't seem to find any such thing.
The only "roll-my-own" solution I could think of was sending a message to
all the objects in my window controllers array and having them block each
window, but I'd imagine showing all the potential sheets would take more
processing power than actually running the update.
Anybody have advice for me on this?
Thanks,
John
