This function is called periodically via the Event Loop. There is one
custom view in the window and it *does* redraw as desired. However, the
title draws only the first time, giving t = 0 in the title and never
changing.


I would like the title to update with time.

Can anyone point out what I am missing? [Note: The NSString, title, is a
class member.]

If I had to guess what the problem was, I'd guess that you're using an NSTimer but that your run loop is not running in the default mode (maybe you're displaying a sheet or a modal dialog or something?) and you haven't added the timer to the run loop for the mode it *is* running in.


As a result, the first invocation is happening (perhaps because the run loop is in a different mode at that point, perhaps because you're directly invoking it yourself), but subsequently the timer isn't firing.

At any rate, I don't think the bug is in the code you posted (though I wouldn't be inclined to use -setViewsNeedDisplay: or the -display message as you were doing).

Kind regards,

Alastair.
