I am writing an application that supports a couple of different document types. One of the document types is a subset of another, so I am using the same document class for both. When opening the subset type, however, I need the user to specify a few things about how to import the data. As for the superset type, the file may be encrypted, so the user would need to enter a password. What is not clear to me is how I would go about prompting the user during readFromURL. What is clear, is that application modal dialogs are bad apparently, and I am cool that. So, that leaves document modal sheets. However, document modal sheets need a window.
So, I am thinking that readFromURL will just do the bare minimum to determine what the document class needs to know from the user. I would then use windowControllerDidLoadNib to determine when the document's main window and its sheets are valid, bring up the necessary sheet based on what readFromURL determined, and then call the appropriate function to do the rest of work reading the file. Is this a fundamentally sound design? Is there a better way to do this? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
