Hi,
this question is for host developers:
I'm going to implement SheetWindows with default EventHandler in my
AUView stuff. So far, I could test in some hosts (Cocoa and Carbon),
without experiencing problems. But I could only test with a Music
Device, yet, hence not all hosts.
Hi Urs
Apologies for an off-topic comment.
Perhaps SheetWindows are different from the Sheet version of modal
dialogs used in OSX. So maybe this comment is completely irrelevant to
your usage.
I realize Sheet dialogs are supposed to enhance user experience by
visually tying the dialog to the parent window, and perhaps more
importantly they 'look cool'.
However, many times I've clicked a button which opens a sheet dialog,
and the sheet dialog is asking questions which would best be answered
if I could see the parent window (for instance, to make sure I've
selected the correct file to perform some possibly destructive action).
However, the !@#$% sheet is obscuring the parent window and I can't
double check without dismissing the dialog, re-examine the parent
window, and then re-invoke the sheet.
Maybe I'm an old fogey, but this seems just as bad as the old
non-movable modal dialogs of years ago. I would rather have movable
modal dialogs rather than sheets, so I can move them out of the way and
check parent window settings before hitting OK on the dialog.
