AFAIK, the "animation" meant by 'startAnimation:' is *not* the animation of the pattern inside the progress indicator, but an animation of the change in the length of the filled-in part of the progress bar. That is, when it goes from 1/4 to 1/2, say, without animation the blue bar just jumps in length, but with animation it slides along smoothly. For an indeterminate progress bar, the animation does nothing for you (because the bar is always full). The pattern animation happens as a regular display update. If your code doesn't return to the main event loop (or otherwise make calls to the progress bar during a compute loop), the indicator won't update. If you invoke '[progressBar setDoubleValue: 0]' often enough during your loop, you should see the pattern animate. (Also, this must be done on the main thread.) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
