Ah! Duh, thanks. So my related question is, I have the NSWindow object is a separate xib file, and that xib file's "File's Owner" is of a custom NSWindowController class, so how would I link the window inside the "NewObject" xib to the main application controller? The Apple documentation indicates it is possible to have these in separate xib files, but I don't see how to link them.
What I'm trying to do is this. I have a main window with a button to say "Create New", and I have an NSWindowController class to handle the creation/check/storage of that new object. I have a separate xib file to handle that window and object. But I want the main window to open the 'new object' window as a sheet (and in fact I need to have cascading sheets of different types). Does this seem possible keeping everything in separate xibs with separate controllers? Thanks...
