A couple of people responded with suggestions of how to do this. I'm curious why, though, along with a caution that it's almost certainly something you don't want to be doing in your main thread.

I currently employ the use of NSThread's sleepUntilDate: in a performClick: override in my custom NSControl. I basically highlight the control, delay, then unhighlight it.

Things like that are why I try to remember to use phrases like "almost certainly." Your button highlight would be, what, about 1/8 second? (I seem to remember Apple's old sample code recommended 8 ticks.)

I current have it set to 50 ms which would be just over 6 ticks. I have yet to fine-tune this. At 8-ticks it seems a bit too high when comparing it to what the built-in widgets do (e.g. NSButton).
