I would think that's because the first time, not knowing where your code that creates that sheet is (probably before awakeFromNib), the "self.window" hasn't been set (it's nil) so the system thinks you just want to have your sheet displayed there. The 2nd time you run it, the "self.window" now points to the correct window which explains why the sheet is displayed correctly. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat/Skype:LaurentDaudelin http://www.nemesys-soft.com/ Logiciels Nemesys Software laur...@nemesys-soft.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
