Yeah, it's a secondary thread. Is there any way to make this work?

Are you making these calls on the main thread? AppKit does not support GUI calls from secondary threads (and this may be an example of why not ;) ).

Hi,

turns out the problem is that setString isn't done displaying the text yet and I try to call setSelectedRange the view will be locked

if( g_sz != NULL )
{
  [mainView setString:[NSString stringWithCString:g_sz]];
  //sleep( 2 );
 [mainView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange( 1400, 12 )];
 [mainView scrollRangeToVisible:NSMakeRange( 1400, 12 )];
 [mainView display];
}


If I uncomment sleep(2) everything is fine. What could I use instead of sleep to know when the view is ready?


Thanks!

Hi!

I have a weird problem with setString. Sometimes the function will never return. Here's the code:

if( g_sz != NULL )
{
    [mainView setString:[NSString stringWithCString:g_sz]];
}

g_sz is a large array containing a book. Normally, the first time I use setString it will work properly but when I try to use setString afterwards it will not return. However, if I set a breakpoint at that line then setString always returns. What could cause this problem?
