I haven't found anything specific in the HIG about this, so I'd be interested 
in some opinions...

I have an modal editor sheet that attaches to a document window to allow 
certain document contents to be manipulated. The sheet is somewhat complex, and 
toolbar items are definitely helpful to have. I can add a toolbar to the sheet, 
but this doesn't seem to be fully supported by Cocoa, and it may be confusing 
to the user to have the document window's toolbar right above the sheet's 
toolbar.

It might make more sense to swap the document window's toolbar for the editor 
toolbar; but, unfortunately, the document window's toolbar always gets disabled 
when the sheet appears - so this wouldn't work.

Any comments on the UI conundrum?

-------------

Technical problem:
If I set an NSToolbar for the sheet (an NSWindow), it functions correctly; 
however, when you right click to get the contextual menu, this menu actually 
acts on the document window's toolbar instead of the sheet's toolbar. I.e., if 
you choose Icon Only, then the document's toolbar changes to Icon Only mode.

Is this just a bug, or is it completely unsupported? Can anyone give me a 
workaround for this?

Thanks,
Dave_______________________________________________
