Window layering and save sheet attachment in multi-window document


  • Subject: Window layering and save sheet attachment in multi-window document

I have a multi-window document with a main window and several (optional, controlled by user defaults) subsidiary windows. Only the main window has shouldCloseDocument set to YES.

I'd like the main window to be in front when the user opens a document, but it appears that the last window created is always in front. I tried telling the main window to makeKeyAndOrderFront at the end of the makeWindowControllers method, but it didn't seem to do anything; stepping through the code showed that the windows don't show themselves until well after that function is over; that is presumably why makeKeyAndOrderFront is being ignored.

So I tried creating the windows in the opposite order; subsidiary windows first, main window last. But there's another problem with that. The save sheet appears on the subsidiary window instead of the main window, which I don't like. Also, on slow computers it is obvious that the subsidiary windows are opening first, and that just looks weird.

So how do I get the save sheet to open on the main window AND have the main window be in front when I open a document?

Thanks for any help!

Derrick
