1) I found the culprit on the sheet appearing as a separate window, and not
a sheet .. you were right cause somehow the passed docWindow was apparently
nil .. anyway, called my sheet routine from a different part of MyDocument.m
.. and now the sheet appears as a sheet.
2) the problem remaining centers on accessing the various buttons on the
alert sheet
===========
Here is the log result:

The Debugger has exited with status 0.
===========
Do not understand that utility styleMask stuff .. and .. the NSAlert is
type-cast as a NSWindow when passed to my dlgEndSelector, so that
"unrecognized selector" is mystifying.
Anyway, onto the code ..
I call this method from MyDocument.m and pass the *documentWindow IBOutlet
from MyDocument.h
- (void) showCalculateSheet:(NSWindow*)docWindow {
NSAlert *calculateSheet = [[[NSAlert alloc] init] autorelease];
[calculateSheet addButtonWithTitle:@"Continue"];
[calculateSheet addButtonWithTitle:@"Stop and save"];
[calculateSheet addButtonWithTitle:@"Stop and don't save"];
[calculateSheet setMessageText:@"You have not finished calculating your
Spreadsheet.\n"
"Do you wish to continue calculating?"];
[calculateSheet setAlertStyle:NSWarningAlertStyle];
[calculateSheet beginSheetModalForWindow:docWindow modalDelegate:self
didEndSelector:@selector(endCalculateSheet:code:info:)
contextInfo:docWindow];
}
- (void) endCalculateSheet:(NSWindow*)theSheet code:(int)returnCode
info:(void*)contextInfo {
if (returnCode == NSAlertDefaultReturn) // "Continue"
{
NSLog(@"Default Calculate Button clicked");
}
else if (returnCode == NSAlertOtherReturn) // "Stop and save"
{
NSLog(@"Other Calculate Button clicked");
}
else if (returnCode == NSAlertAlternateReturn) // "Stop and don't
save"
{
NSLog(@"Third Calculate Button clicked");
}
[theSheet close]; // have also tried ... [theSheet orderOut:self];
}
Someone a long time ago warned that the learning curve slope for XCODE is
rather steep .. it's not like I wasn't told.
Anyway, thanks bunches as usual
