One caveat: -performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: is defined in the NSObject class, not the NSObject protocol. Since most delegates are defined these days like so:
@protocol MyDelegate <NSObject> ... @end there is no guarantee the delegate itself will be able to handle -performSelector:withObject:afterDelay. You can get around this though by declaring your class as: @property(assign) NSObject <MyDelegate> *delegate; On 30 Dec 2009, at 19:21, Helen Cooper wrote: > thanks - obvious.
