I'm not really sure what you're asking for. A modal window being shown on screen is not something that happens spontaneously _to_ your application, it's something that your application does. So, whatever you want to do after the window is shown, just do it after the point in your code where you show it.

I tried to achieve the next effect: some automatic process should be started on the modal window appearance on screen. A popup panel with progress indicator appears, etc. My idea was not to initiate such process from the calling code (where modal window is called from), but do it asynchronously, as soon as the modal window will appear on the screen.


Of course, I've solved the problem by calling this process from the calling code just before [NSApp runModalForWindow:] call. But it is not pretty correct from the OOP philosophy point of view, at least as I understand it.

What is over my mind is why Apple split main loop and modal loop. I see none of benefits but headaches.. There may be only one modal window at a time, isn't it?

Thanks.
