I have found the ultimate final solution now!


I had to split my method into two:
----------------------------------

/|
/ |
/ |
|
| O Method

Programmatically entering data in an NSTextView with -setString. Unfortunately the setString/drawing method seems to be threaded (and too lame). That's why I had to do the PDF printing (to a data object) in a different method.

/ )
/
/
/
(______ O Method

In my 2nd method I printed the content of the NSTextView into a data object using NSPrintOperation. But how do I call this method when the drawing in method 1 is so slow and threaded? Well, I use the following code:

[self performSelector:@selector(printNewsPDF) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];


It will execute my second method in the next run loop. That's it.


But one question to Apple and all the geeks: how could *I* find the solution? I'm still something like a Cocoa newbie. Needing to solve such a problem is the worst what can happen IMHO! Where's the "Cocoa" in there?


However, now that it's solved:

Have a nice day-


Cheers, Thilo
