waiting for an NSThread

Subject: waiting for an NSThread

Hello, all ...

I've another n00b Cocoa question: How can I wait for a thread to finish without depending on a flag that may be reset and set before the thread i'm waiting for has time to check it? For instance, in Win32 (i'm not saying Win32 is the best, it's just what i've the most experience in), I can ::WaitForSingleObject(thread_id). In Cocoa, once I start the new thread via NSThread detachNewThreadSelector(), how can I be sure it ended i.e. how can I wait for it to end before starting another? Can I have Cocoa notify me when a thread ends, like it notifies me when an observed property changes?

Regards,

John
