I'm very much looking forward to seeing a civilized solution to this. I'm using a state machine that steps through a complex process one piece per state, and sticking a 1ms timer (to pass control back to the run loop) at the end of every case. Seems to work, and the process I'm using it on is long, but things change with every state and the timing is being judged by a mortal so the gaps are pretty much invisible... - -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIjfDI04yQfZbbTLYRAin+AKCVwqJgQx4dtMFqC3bbrUoUNQJYnQCgiSEs j729AMtAP5aOnp66ZVOZwvI= =LA2g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
