To thread or not to thread?

Subject: To thread or not to thread?

I have a simple function that randomly generates color values that I'd like to execute when a checkbox is enabled and terminates when the checkbox is unchecked. I tried a while loop using [sender state == 1] but that went into an infinite loop. I couldn't get control of the checkbox again, although checking the NSLog output, the app was happily generating random color values.

I'm quite a beginner to Cocoa programming, but would putting this process on another thread make sense or is there some other way to have this random function run while still allowing the user to interact with the UI? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
