Displaying a sheet when plugin is loaded

[Dalquen Daniel]

Hello everybody,

I'm writing an export plugin that will upload to a website (another one of these...). When the plugin is opened, it checks whether the log-in information for the website could be read from the preferences. If not, I want to show a sheet where the user can enter that information.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find the correct place for

[NSApp beginSheet:loginWindow modalForWindow:[_exportManager window] modalDelegate:nil didEndSelector:nil contextInfo:nil];

as the sheet attaches to the main workspace instead of to the plugin window. When I open the sheet via a button in the GUI of the plugin, it works as expected.

Is there a way to find out, when the plugin window has been opened and the focus has changed?

Thanks!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Which places have you tried? Have you tried putting it in awakeFromNib?

Hi Daniel,

One option is listen for a notification when the window becomes the key window, then show the sheet, in your initWithAPIManager method add the listener.

Something like:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self
selector: @selector(exportWindowDidBecomeKey:)
name: NSWindowDidBecomeKeyNotification
object :nil];

I hope that helps.

Hi Richard and Steven,

Thanks for your help! After sending the email to the list last night, I consulted my Cocoa book (something I should have done before...) and also found the option of listening to the notifications from the export window. So, that's what I've implemented now, and it seems to work :)

Cheers from Switzerland
