Hello,
This is hard to google for because they are such common words:
how do I delay, wait, pause for a tenth of a second?
I don't want to use NSTimer because I just want to resume where
I left off. I don't want to be in a tight loop because I need
the system to finish something. I just want to pause execution
for a short time. I think there was a wait() in OS9. I found a
wait() in wait.h but it wants an int * and made me nervous.
Specifically, when I send a fetch message to an
NSArrayController, it sometimes takes a fraction of a second for
its selection to become valid. Currently I fire an NSTimer to
call a 'part 2' method to finish what I am doing (scrolling the
selection into view), but it lacks niceness.
Thanks,
Steve
