When you open the sheet with
-beginSheet:modalForWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector:contextInfo:, assign
your controller as the delegate, and create a
-didEndSheet:returnCode:contextInfo: method in your controller. That way,
the contextInfo that you specified when opening the sheet will be passed
back to your delegate method when it closes.
