Spinning in event tracking mode is far more common. Spinning in a custom mode is definitely only for those who really know what they're doing… if you start calling out to other code, that code might be very confused when its timers don't fire. --Kyle Sluder ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Is that definitely the way you need to do it, or would you be happy with pulling the notifications from the queue using dequeueNotificationsMatching, and then reposting with NSPostASAP or NSPostNow? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

I don’t think that’s possible. NSNotificationQueue is convenient but limited; I suggest rolling your own equivalent using a timer or delayed-perform. —Jens ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

NSNotificationQueue Question
I have a bit of code that posts notifications to coalescing notification queue. // Post did change notifications to a coalescing notification queue. // Notifications are coalesced that match both the notification name and // object. The notification is posted at the end of the current notification // callout or timer. NSNotification *notification = [NSNotification notificationWithName:MyRelationshipDidChangeNotification object:object userInfo:change]; [[NSNotificationQueue defaultQueue] enqueueNotification:notification postingStyle:NSPostASAP]; In another place I need to force the notification queue to issue a did change notification. // Force notification queue to issue notification. [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] runMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode beforeDate:nil]; This works but the problem is that there are undesirable side effects to running the runloop once when this call is made. What I would like to do is to run the runloop once but only cause the notification queue to post this notification but not do other things. Anyone know how to do this? --Richard Charles ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
