You know, that is not a half bad idea. It won't work for all the
situations (some of the dialog boxes are to big to fit in a drawer),
but it would for several of the smaller ones. Also, if the document
is full screen, drawers would be an issue. I will still look for a
better solution for larger dialogs.
Thanks

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
This may be a really dumb idea, since I'm not a very experienced
Cocoa developer, but can a drawer be document-modal?
