I wonder whether Apple's UI team know of this documentation. Positioning a sheet next to any other UI element seems totally wrong for everything we've seen in Mac UI so far. Especially given 10.7 introduced pop-overs, which are designed exactly for that purpose and are not modal (or rather, cancel their mode when you click outside them, at least by default). Are you sure it is a good idea to use a sheet for something like that? It sounds more like a job for a popover, which also handles much more of the required behaviour automatically. > Does anyone know what I can do to make the framework call > window:willPositionSheet:usingRect:, even in full-screen mode?

We have a custom window title bar, yet when we're in fullscreen, the OS draws a fake "standard" title bar and toolbar for us floating above the window when you show the menu bar. Given you can't even inhibit that, I'm not surprised that they would also show sheets in the standard location relative to these fake window decorations. Sorry I'm not of more help, -- Uli _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
