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. > I realize that there may well be some UI debate as to whether it > should be, but in this case it really does make sense.

I don't think there are any declares to enable the parent window's close widget when a modal window is frontmost.
