In fact, there is plenty of solutions for this. You found one, I'm not
telling it is the most efficient. Here are two other.
You can put it in your Controller class but in an awakeFromNib function
(awakeFromNib is called when every outlet is ready and available for
the receiver).
Another trick (one you perhaps didn't know about) is to put your
controller as a delegate of your application class (using IB). After
that you just have to declare a function named
applicationDidFinishLaunching (or something like that cmd-shift-c to
find more;).
Those functions are VERY useful in many ways and you should take a look
at them.

Never mind. I think I just found a solution: start the thread in the
init function of the target object. That is, have an object start a
thread on itself.
Sorry to bother you all.

Hello,
Where is the best place to

to start a new thread? I would like my thread to start as soon as my
application has initialized.
Right now I'm starting it in the init function of my controller class
(using the MVC way of doing things). My controller is instantiated in
IB, as is the target class where the thread will start. When I run
the
app the controller is instantiated before the the target class, so
there is nothing to start the thread on.
I've been unabled to find sample code which uses threads. Is there a
better place to start a thread which should strat as soon as the
applicaiton starts?
Thanks very much,
Chris
