Thanks again.
Regarding the Carbon Window problem, the FrontWindow() call was just
an illustration. The WindowRef I'm supplying is of a visible
(usually active and front) Document window. The problems are not
even consistent, and will randomly occur. The desired behavior,
though, will very rarely occur. (I'd say one in a hundred times).
In short --- Are there any specific implications to opening a cocoa
sheet over a carbon (document) window? Is there any specific setup I
need to know about? What are the limitations of Cocoa NSWindow
wrappers around Carbon windows?
The problem is, my Plugin is written using cocoa, but runs within a
Carbon application. I need to attach my NSOpen/NSSave panels onto a
given application window, which is, of course, a Carbon window. I
get this bogus behavior and even worse, both running with my Host
application, and with simplistic test programs like the one below.
There's one fundamental problem - sheets are designed to be document
modal, not application modal, which requires support from the
underlying application in order to work correctly.
So a sheet is not support to block the app like runModal does, but to
work in conjunction with document architecture.
You're basically fighting the frameworks, and the frameworks always
win...
