\nThis is a better modal dialog than in the Hillegass book pages 306-311. The Hillegass book is great showing the wiring of such a sheet – but the code below is better for the actual showing of the dialog. The Hillegass book uses the selector (nifty pet trick – but overkill for most modal dialogs).<\/p>\n
\nUse this code (I have added some comments below):
\n– (void)showCustomDialog: (NSWindow *)window
\n\/\/ User has asked to see the dialog. Display it.
\n{
\nif (!myCustomDialog)
\n[NSBundle loadNibNamed: @”MyCustomDialog” owner: self];
\n[NSApp beginSheet: myCustomDialog
\nmodalForWindow: window
\nmodalDelegate: nil
\ndidEndSelector: nil
\ncontextInfo: nil];
\n[NSApp runModalForWindow: myCustomDialog];
\n\/\/ Dialog is up here.
\n\/\/ This coee is executed after the dialog closes
\n\/\/ Pull final values for variables from of the modal Dialog here
\n\/\/ Note – any type of return code needs to be placed in a class-global variable
\nNSLog([_sheetPasswordTextField stringValue]);
\nfprintf(stderr,”Return value = %d\\n”,sheetResult);
\n[NSApp endSheet: myCustomDialog];
\n[myCustomDialog orderOut: self];
\n}
\nListing 2 Closing an application-modal dialog
\n– (IBAction)closeMyCustomDialog: (id)sender
\n{
\n\/\/ If you have more than one button, set a class-global integer
\n\/\/ to indicate which button was pressed to close the dialog (OK, Login, etc)
\nsheetResult = 0;
\n[NSApp stopModal];
