Hi all,
I'm trying to make a cheap, modal, indeterminate progress dialog, but
I'm having trouble animating the progress bar.
(Yes, I know this is only slightly better than the spinning wheel of
death. Yes, I know I should thread my long running code. Yes, I know I
should not block the main thread. One day...)
The docs for NSProgressIndicator's setUsesThreadedAnimation say "This
value is only a hint and may be ignored". Indeed, sometimes it animates
and sometimes it does not. I can't find any pattern.
Is there a way to reliably make an NSProgressIndicator animate while the
main thread is blocked?
Thanks,
--
