I’ve been puzzling over this statement for a while.

At first I thought, “Oh, that’s right, you can. I guess you can send it to the sheet or the sheet’s parent window.” But then I remembered that this method has a parameter that’s the sheet window. So, I’m not sure what ‘[sheet endSheet: sheet]’ would do, if that’s what Graham meant.

There’s also an [application endSheet:] method, but that’s now deprecated.

In the end, I’ve come to the (possibly incorrect) conclusion, and that Graham misspoke. I think you can close the sheet with ‘[sheet orderOut: nil]’ too — at least from the completion block** — and my guess is that’s what Graham was thinking of. In fact, I think you used to be able to close the sheet with [sheet close] too, but I have a vague recollection that it crashes now, or has some other drawback.


** Sometimes the callback has to make sure the current sheet has really gone before putting up a second sheet. Of course, it’s now allowable to nest sheets, which changes the game yet again.
