I recently did that exact thing, like this:

The key is `abortModal()`.

Re: MacOS: nonmodal NSAlert panel
I believe Apple uses NSPopOver for non-modal alerts and dialogs, which can automatically dismiss when the user clicks outside the popover. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.

If you want a non-modal panel, it wouldn't be an alert; you'd have to implement it yourself using an NSPanel. —Jens ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

MacOS: nonmodal NSAlert panel
I had thought it was possible on MacOS to run an NSAlert panel nonmodally... I'd like to present an informational alert for n seconds then dismiss it without user interaction. But I don't see any way to dismiss, terminate, cancel, invalidate, etc. an NSAlert object. I know this is possible in iOS, but is there no way to do this in MacOS, other than displaying/hiding an NSPanel of my own? -Carl ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
