Hi, I have a background thread which needs the main thread to create an object (because part of the initializer isn't thread safe).
The performSelector: methods don't expose the return value of the message, even with waitUntilDone:YES. I'm not happy with my workaround, which is to use an instance variable: @interface MyClass : NSObject { id tmpObj; } @end @implementation MyClass - (void)foobar { [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(createMyObj) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES]; id myObj = tmpObj; [tmpObj autorelease]; tmpObj = nil; // do stuff with myObj } - (void)createMyObj { tmpObj = // create object [tmpObj retain]; // retain object, so it doesn't get auto-released } @end Has anyone else got a cleaner technique? Perhaps provide an NSMutableDictionary to withObject: ? - Abhi - - - Kind Regards, Abhi Beckert Senior Programmer Precedence - Websites. Hosting.
