This is more for the user interface experts, than the cocoa
programming experts...
What is the suggested user interface when creating modal dialogs for
documents that have be movable? For our application (think of it as a
drawing program), the user sometimes NEEDS to be able to view the
document under the modal dialog. We can not use sheets, because they
cover up the document window itself. We can not do Inspectors, since
the operations are intensely modal. We could make the dialog box
application modal (ie. one at any given time), but our client has
really requested document modal, since they are often working with
more then one document at the same time. I know how to write and
invoke the code to make any given window modal to another, but I am
more concerned about the user interface of this. Is there any
suggested way to do this? Something to clue the user to what is going
on?
Thanks,
Steve
