A modal (Dialog) window does *not* have a close button and a sheet  
window is nothing but a modal window that appears on top of the  
document window that is its parent. The close button you see is part  
of the parent window and not the modal (sheet) window. It is disabled  
when the dialog becomes frontmost along with quit and a few other  
menubar items. You cannot click on another window in the application  
to bring it frontmost either. You must close or hide the dialog  
before it will be enabled.

Could you explain why?

You could always put a close pushbutton on the sheet window. I don't  
think there are any declares to enable the parent window's close  
widget when a modal window is frontmost.
