But this assumes that you know what control is being edited. It is much more
usual to say:
[sheetWin makeFirstResponder: nil]; // end any editing
Even this will not guarantee that editing will end, since the editee might
fail validation; RTFM for code that deals with that situation.
Also, on a different topic, I realize this conversation has been held
before, but I find it very odd behaviour to begin a sheet with beingSheet:
(which makes it window-modal, automatically) and then suddenly call
runModelForWindow: on the sheet (which makes it app-modal). If you wanted an
app-modal window, why did you summon a sheet? The standard UI is that
stand-alone dialogs are app-modal, sheets are window-modal. m.
