How can I create such a timer? I mean, it probably isn't very efficient to redraw the whole view every second just to get the timer to update.
Drawing a view once a second shouldn't be a problem. Look at all the stuff iTunes' pseudo-LCD status view updates multiple times a second while a track is playing.
It's always a good idea to tell the view to redraw only the bounding box of the area that needs to update, though.
But is creating a separate thread just for the timer necessary (I doubt that)?
Don't create a thread. Use an NSTimer. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
