I've seen the Sheet Programming Topics on the Macdev center, that's where I saw that sample code. (For some reason, I can't search the XCode Documentation for the programming guides; it's loaded, but nothing shows in search; the API searches fine.) I do find their guides pretty helpful. One of the things you will find in that document is that cascading sheets > are not supported or desirable.

But I'm still interested in how to do the below for another task (not cascading). Yes, you can load a window from any xib you want to, or even create one in > code, and then attach it to a window as a sheet. > That's what I can't get to work, that's where I'm still confused. This piece of code here: ----------------- if (!myCustomSheet) [NSBundle loadNibNamed: @"MyCustomSheet" owner: self]; [NSApp beginSheet: myCustomSheet modalForWindow: window modalDelegate: self didEndSelector: @selector(didEndSheet:returnCode:contextInfo:) contextInfo: nil]; ---------------- I get that "myCustomSheet" is an NSWindow reference, but how does it know to be the particular window I want to show? When the nib is loaded, where does it go (in code)? How do I connect the window in the MyCustomSheet XIB to an outlet in the AppDeletegate file? I am stuck there...
