Hi,
I want to display the current time in a full screen window. I'm
making my computer into a digital clock (for my own use). I've
done it by using NSCalendarDate and extracting the hours, minutes,
and seconds, formatting a string and displaying it. I use an
NSTimer to update the display every half a second.
My question is: Is there a better way to display what is
essentially the same as the menu bar clock?
Thanks for any ideas,
Ron
Look at NSDateFormatter.

Maybe I misunderstood the question...
Reminds me though of one of my first ever apps - a big digital
clock on the C64. Each digit was a double-sized sprite. Couldn't
miss that sucker ;-)
cheers, Graham
Oh, sorry Graham and Nathan. My question wasn't clear. It should've
been:
Is there a way to update the time without using an NSTimer? I'd like
my clock to be synchronised with the menu bar clock. Maybe this
isn't a Cocoa question. Thanks for your answers.
Ron
