Terminating from Separate Thread


  • Subject: Terminating from Separate Thread
  • From: Eric Blanpied <email@hidden>

My app has a child object that handles a periodic process on a separate thread. From time to time that process encounters an error which requires notifying the user and quitting the app. So far I've done this with an NSAlert from that thread, and then [NSApp terminate: self], which seems effective.

The trouble is that there are some things that would be good to tidy up in the main thread before even showing that alert. How can I have this child object, on a separate thread, tell the main app to do some stuff, show the dialog (with error data from the child object), & quit?

Thanks,
