Here's a trivial category to address this. Whether it's really worth using is hard to say, but for what it's worth:

@interface NSWindow (SheetAdditions)

- (void) beginSheet:(NSWindow*) sheet modalDelegate:(id) modalDelegate didEndSelector:(SEL) didEndSelector contextInfo:(void*) contextInfo; - (void) beginSheetModalForWindow:(NSWindow*) docWindow modalDelegate: (id) modalDelegate didEndSelector:(SEL) didEndSelector contextInfo: (void*) contextInfo;

@end


@implementation NSWindow (SheetAdditions)


- (void) beginSheet:(NSWindow*) sheet modalDelegate:(id) modalDelegate didEndSelector:(SEL) didEndSelector contextInfo:(void*) contextInfo
{
[NSApp beginSheet:sheet modalForWindow:self modalDelegate:modalDelegate didEndSelector:didEndSelector contextInfo:contextInfo];
}


- (void) beginSheetModalForWindow:(NSWindow*) docWindow modalDelegate: (id) modalDelegate didEndSelector:(SEL) didEndSelector contextInfo: (void*) contextInfo;
{
[NSApp beginSheet:self modalForWindow:docWindow modalDelegate:modalDelegate didEndSelector:didEndSelector contextInfo:contextInfo];
}


@end

I agree with your assessment. What business has NSApplication
providing this method? it doesn't make sense.

Probably because it involves the run loop and event dispatch, since the running a window as a sheet must ensure that the window to which the sheet is attached does not receive events, yet a click in that parent window must bring the pair forward... Further, I'll bet it's also there because the method to run a window application-modally was there first. So if you think about what the method must *really* do, it no longer appears to be so bound to the window, because it requires doing things that are clearly not the responsibility of the window. Yes, the method could be in NSWindow and call on NSApplication to get that done, but, should a window really be able to
have such a drastic effect on the events going to other windows???

But I had the same difficulty as everybody else locating it the first time.
And then again, later, when I had not used it for a while ;-)
