Answer 1

Sounds like you want to load the nib. It also sounds like NSWindowController would be of interest to you.

Answer 2

Hi, thanks for all to helped me. I finally, solve my sheet problem. Following is the step i have followed to show the sheet from seperate NIB.

1. Create New NIB with panel/window having seperate UI.
2. Created NSwindowController subclass for my Sheet.
3. implemented - init method in sheet controll and initialize nib using initWithWindowNibName.
4. changed the File's owner class to sheetcontroller in seperate nib.
5. add the window reference to File's Owner window object to my panel/window in seperate NIB.
6. imported sheetcontroller header into main app controller and finally use the following code to make the sheet working.

Profile Actions:

- (IBAction)showProfiles:(id)sender {
    ProfileSheetController *profileSheet =[[ProfileSheetController alloc] init];
    profileSheet.appController = self;
    [NSApp beginSheet:[profileSheet window]
       modalForWindow:window
        modalDelegate:self
       didEndSelector:NULL
          contextInfo:nil];
}
