I am guessing you will have to configure your runloop in the appropriate mode (see NSRunLoop, and Run Loop Management in the docs), to specify the behavior of your timers.
Hope that helped, ~Gopinath -----Original Message----- From: cocoa-dev-bounces+gopinath=adobe....@lists.apple.com [mailto:cocoa-dev-bounces+gopinath=adobe....@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Kiran Kumar S Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 3:21 PM To: Apple Mailing Mailing Subject: problem with NSTimer according to documentation for beginSheet:modalForWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector:contextInfo: it says that While the application is in the run loop, it does not respond to any other events (including mouse, keyboard, or window- close events) unless they are associated with the sheet. It also does not perform any tasks (such as firing timers) that are not associated with the modal run loop. But in my app the timer i had created fires even my main window is in running as Modal - (id)init { self = [super init]; if (self) { timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:5.0f target:self selector:@selector(timerPinged:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES]; } return self; } -(void)timerPinged:(NSTimer*)timere { NSLog(@"timer pinged"); } -(IBAction)raiseSheet:(id)sender { [NSApp beginSheet:syncPanel modalForWindow:window modalDelegate:nil didEndSelector:nil contextInfo:nil]; } _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
