I want to use a dialog box to allow users to add and edit entries. I don't want it to be a panel

you mean "sheet"

as it needs to be moveable so that you can see the list of items in the main window, so it's what I used to call a moveable modal dialog. Should I use a window or a panel?

panel.

And how do I set the level (floating/modal/regular)?

Generally, you can make if float in Interface builder. Whether the window acts modal depends on how you show it. See for example the beginModalSessionForWindow: method in NSApplication.


I'm starting to set up the menu structure, but I haven't found any documentation about enabling and disabling menu items as different objects become the target - sorry, first responder. What is the methodology Cocoa uses for this?

You know, these really are basic questions. You really should at least make an attempt to figure out all this stiff from the copious documentation and examples that are available, then come back for stuff you get stuck on.


I'll again recommend the Hillegas book, as it covers most of what you're ever likely to need...


Is there any sort of easy gestalt checking functions (like which OS version)?

Gestalt still works, what do you need to check for?
