Ok, I feel like a complete and utter retard asking this, but I've tried everything, and Juan has my Cocoa books, so...

I'm trying to attach a sheet to my window. I want it to slide down on launch. so I have:

Code:
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
	[NSApp beginSheet: loginSheet
	modalForWindow: mainWindow
	modalDelegate: self
	didEndSelector:@selector(sheetDidEnd:returnCode:contextInfo:)
	contextInfo:nil];
}

when I run the app, the window appears and the sheet appears... but it's not attached and it's definately NOT modal to the window. This is bad.

I was under the impression that "modalForWindow: mainWindow" is all that's required to attach a sheet to a window, but it seems this is not the case. Anyone know what I'm missing?

Try sending mainWindow a makeKeyAndOrderFront: message before you run the sheet.

cool, except it seems to break cmd-Q quitting it... odd.

I don't think you can normally quit while an alert panel is up.

guess I should hook up the cancel button then
