In Mavericks, the methods to open and close NSSheets has changed. And to make it tougher, the Release Notes do not match the current documentation (see below).
I'm trying to do this:
MainSheetController (NSWindowController):
-(IBAction)callSheet:(id)sender {
[sheetController openSheet];
}
SheetController (NSObject):
(void)openSheet {
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:sheetName owner:self topLevelObjects:nil];
NSLog(@"1");
[self.mainWindowController.window beginSheet:self.sheet completionHandler:nil];
NSLog(@"2");
}
I get to 2, with no errors or warnings, but no sheet..
Current Documentation:
#if NS_BLOCKS_AVAILABLE
- (void)beginSheet:(NSWindow *)sheetWindow completionHandler:(void (^)(NSModalResponse returnCode))handler NS_AVAILABLE_MAC(10_9);
- (void)beginCriticalSheet:(NSWindow *)sheetWindow completionHandler:(void (^)(NSModalResponse returnCode))handler NS_AVAILABLE_MAC(10_9);
#endif
- (IBAction)userButtonPressed:(id)sender {
UserLoginWindowController * wc = [UserLoginWindowController new];
// we keep a reference, so the WC doesn't deallocate
self.modalWindowController = wc;
[[self window] beginSheet:[wc window] completionHandler:^(NSModalResponse returnCode) {
self.modalWindowController = nil;
}];
}
in the UserLoginWindowController
- (IBAction)cancelButtonPressed:(id)sender {
[[[self window] sheetParent] endSheet:[self window] returnCode:NSModalResponseCancel];
}
- (IBAction)showSheet:(id)sender
{
if (_windowController == nil)
{
_windowController = [MyWindowController new];
}
[[self window] beginSheet:[_windowController window] completionHandler:^(NSModalResponse returnCode)
{
}];
}
// And inside your MyWindowController class:
- (id)init
{
self = [super initWithWindowNibName:@"MyWindowNibName"]; // TODO: Change the name of your NIB
return self;
}
In your nib file, make sure the "Visible At Launch" flag is unticked for the window.
I figured out how to do this. Hope it's ok to post..
MainWindow.h
@interface MainWindowController : NSWindowController {
NSString *sheetName;
IBOutlet NSWindow *sheet;
id result1;
id result2;
...
id resultn;
}
@property (strong) NSString *sheetName;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet NSWindow *sheet;
-(IBAction)callSheet0:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)callSheet1:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)callSheetn:(id)sender;
- (void)openSheet;
- (IBAction)save:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)cancel:(id)sender;
MainWindow.m
- (void)windowDidLoad
{
NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
[super windowDidLoad];
sheetName = [[NSString alloc] init];
}
-(IBAction)callSheet0:(id)sender {
NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
sheetName = @"Sheet0";
[self openSheet];
}
....
-(IBAction)callSheetn:(id)sender {
NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
sheetName = @"Sheetn";
[self openSheet];
- (void)openSheet {
NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
NSLog(@"sheetName: %@",sheetName );
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:sheetName owner:self topLevelObjects:nil];
[self.window beginSheet:self.sheet completionHandler:nil];
}
- (void)save:(NSButton*)sender {
switch ([sender tag]) {
case 0:
[self doSave1];
result = @"1";
break;
case 1:
[self doSave2];
result = @"2";
break;
case n:
[self doSaven];
result = @"x";
break;
}
[self endSheet:self.sheet returnCode:result];
}
- (IBAction)cancel:(id)sender {
NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
result = @"0";
[self endSheet:self.sheet returnCode:result];
// returnCode is optional
}
//endSheet:(NSWindow *)sheetWindow {
- (void)endSheet:(NSWindow *)sheetWindow returnCode:returnCode {
//NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
[sheetWindow orderOut:self];
}
- (void)save:(NSButton*)sender {
switch ([sender tag]) {
case 0:
[self doSave1];
result = @"1";
break;
case n:
[self doSave3];
result = @"3";
break;
}
[self endSheet:self.sheet returnCode:result];
}
With this method, new in 10.9,I don't need a special sheet controller, and control remains quote local.
