We seem to have not made any progress. Until you change that misconception, this is going to be rather difficult.

It is a very, very rare thing to create your own run loop. If you do, you better know what you're doing; in this case, what you're doing is throwing yourself into a modal loop that prevents AppKit from dispatching your events. If you read the docs, you will see that run loops exit when all their input sources have been detached. All your events come in from the Window Server on an input source which is attached to your main run loop. *If you create your own run loop these events will never be dequeued, as the main run loop is waiting for yours to finish.* --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
