I am creating a job tracking app using postgresql as a
backend. Finally, I have notifications from the
backend working correctly. Basically, I have a timer
... if a user on client1 is looking at record 35 and
user on client25 alterss record 35, the postgresql
backend will notify client1 and bring up a modal sheet
telling the user that the record has changed...
great..
basically when I view an individual record, I register
with the backend that should this record update,
notify me. on the mac I fired a timer (only while
looking at an individual record) that looks to see if
a notification has been received.
whilst debugging and viewing the log window i notice
that even when this modal sheet comes up, the timer
that fires to check if a notifcation has come in is
continuing to fire.
I thought that when I started a modal sheet, the
underlaying app loop stopped?
I didn't think I could access the underlaying class
while the modal sheet was up. Is the app still running
and responsive while the modal sheet is up?
I was thinking that if I needed any of my programs
functions while the sheet was up, I would need to
start a new thread. I would be very happy if I didn't
need to learn this at the moment.
