Don't loop like this. Think about what is taking place... you are looping never allowing your main thread to do anything else. Your loop is not returning out to the normal runloop which handles user input and drives your UI. Look at using NSTimer to trigger a callback that will allow you to update UI as needed. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
