The +scheduledTimer* methods schedule the timer using the default runloop mode. Try creating a timer without scheduling it, then adding it yourself to the current runloop with NSRunLoop's -addTimer:forMode: instead, using the NSModalPanelRunLoopMode mode:

    myTimer = [NSTimer timerWithTimeInterval:1.0
                       target:self
                       selector:@selector(killWindow:)
                       userInfo:nil
                       repeats:NO];

    [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer:myTimer
                                forMode:NSModalPanelRunLoopMode];

I did something like this , long time back

hope, this is close enough to your requirement  or may be its a wrong
practice ( user discretion required :) )

-()runAlert
{
..// show modal window
NSTimer *myTimer = [[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:someTime
target:self selector:@selector(killwindow:) userInfo:nil repeats:No];
}

-() killwindow:(NSTimer *) theTimer
{
//kill the window
}


if the user click on the alert window then "– invalidate" the myTimer

This worked for me

Hi,
I want to close a Modal NSAlertPanel after specific period of time if user does not click on any of the buttons. Is there a way to set up a NSTimer to
close the Alert Panel after 10 secs.
