In this case the documentation is just putting in a quick simple check to verify that the sheet is not already displayed before trying to display it. Since no variable for the sheet is passed to the method, this might seem a little strange... the docs here fail to remind you that you should declare mySheet (or whatever you want to call it) in your controller you use this in. (the docs make an assumption that you know this here, but arguably they should not. You might consider filing a bug on the documentation to clarify it)_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
