You could use an NSConditionLock to do that — main thread creates the lock and locks it, passes the lock to the background thread, then blocks waiting for the condition to change. The background thread sets the condition when it finishes its work. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
