Ahhhhh! Okay ... a couple of more questions, if I may ...
Are determinate progress indicators considered "not animated" for the
purposes of the API? -- as opposed to indeterminate progress indicators,
which are animated. In this case, should I always associate the word
"animated" with an indeterminate progress indicator? ... for example, if
some selector works with an "animated progress indicator" should I read
that as "animated, indeterminate, progress indicator?" Will
setUsesThreadedAnimation ever have any meaning for a determinate
progress indicator? Should I place this message in code, even if it has
no effect/does no harm now -- in the hopes that it might, one day, work
for determinate progress indicators?
As regards indeterminate progress indicators, does the
setUsesThreadedAnimation message cause instances to animate using a
private thread? I'm just trying to understand what
setUsesThreadedAnimation does exactly ... is my theory right (that an
indeterminate NSProgressIndicator instance spawns its own thread to
animate when the setUsesThreadedAnimation message is sent)? I "think"
that this is what the documentation is saying, but I'm not sure.
Thanks (again) in advance!
