Well what I meant by delegates and selectors was like the secondary thread calls a selector on the main thread (using performSelectorOnMainThread) but I guess I got a little confused there :)
I would like to use blocks, however I'm using the 10.5 SDK so as far as I know blocks cannot be used. Is there a way to get performSelectorOnMainThread to return a value? That would solve my issue, because I could pass on the NSAttributedString to a method on the main thread that figures out the size and all, then returns the value.
