Re: Using an NSView as a sheet

Hi,

A sheet is in fact a NSPanel which derives from NSWindow. So you can add
your view with something like:

NSView  *contentView = [myWindow contentView];

[myView setFrameSize:[contentView frame].size];
[contentView addSubview:contentView];

There is just one gotcha you have take into account. A view cannot be
inserted in two view hierarchies at the same time. If it is what you need,
make sure you load the nib file two times.
