I have an NSTimer that I'm trying to use to periodicly call a method. The

my code, do you see anything wrong?


-(void)incrementProgressIndicator;
{
NSLog(@"incrementProgressIndicator"); //Never logs
//progressIndicator is an NSProgressIndicator IBOutlet of this object
//incrementAmount is a double ivar with a written accessor
if (progressIndicator != nil) {[progressIndicator incrementBy: [self incrementAmount]];}
}



What is that semicolon doing after the "incrementProgressIndicator" in the first line?




incrementerInvocation = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:
[self methodSignatureForSelector:@selector(incrementProgressIndicator)]];



You don't seem to be setting the selector (or target) for that invocation. Read the docs on 'invocationWithMethodSignature'.
But it would be far easier to just use the methods of NSTimer that take a selector instead of an invocation.



//incrementerTimer needs to be invalidated after it fires (iterations) times, so we set up a
//second timer to wait (seconds * iterations) seconds and invalidate the original timer



You should just keep a counter and check it when your timer fires and invalidate the timer if the number of iterations has been reached.
