How to make it from top ? (Cocoa sheet)

Question

I have implemented my sheet (NSPanel) with the following method:

- (void)showInWindow:(NSWindow *)mainWindow {
if (!finestra1)
    [NSBundle loadNibNamed:@"XibName" owner:self];

[NSApp beginSheet:finestra1 modalForWindow:mainWindow modalDelegate:nil didEndSelector:nil contextInfo:nil];
[NSApp runModalForWindow:finestra1];   //This call blocks the execution until [NSApp stopModal] is called

}

The sheet is appearing in the middle of my screen, how to attach it to the top of my main window and make it appear with a "slide down" effect instead?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried simply removing the -runModalForWindow: line?

Not working ... If you want I can upload my app but it would be hard to understand... – Alberto Dec 18 '12 at 14:29
As in, it gave the same result as what you have? – paulmelnikow Dec 18 '12 at 14:57
Without that and with the NSBundle same result , Without both nothing happens – Alberto Dec 18 '12 at 20:47

The way I was taught, the sheet you're presenting should be an NSWindow, not an NSPanel.

Let me know if you'd like me to upload a simple demo project.

All panels are windows, so it is valid to begin a sheet that is a panel. – Peter Hosey Dec 18 '12 at 05:22
