HowToOpenASheet
Crowd-sourced documentation and tutorials by the Cocoa developer community
To open a sheet you need to have two things, the window the sheet will be attached to and the window that's the sheet's contents.
To open the sheet:
[[[NSApp]] beginSheet:aSheet
modalForWindow:aWindow
modalDelegate:aWindow
didEndSelector:nil
contextInfo:nil];
Where aSheet is the sheet you want to display and aWindow is the window it will be attached to.
To close the sheet:
[[[NSApp]] endSheet:aSheet];
[aSheet orderOut:nil];
Where aSheet is the sheet.
The usage of sheets is described in Mac OS X Human Interface Guidelines.
