Knowing mouse pressed time?

Hello.
I want to show a custom menu when the left click its being press for about 1 second on some of my components.. I have being searching and found a apple example where the use the
+ (void)startPeriodicEventsAfterDelay:(NSTimeInterval)delaySecondswithPeriod:(NSTimeInterval)periodSeconds

and the stopPeriodicEvents class methods.  I tried implementing something like:

	BOOL timerOn = YES;
	NSPoint mouseLoc;
	NSLog(@"before loop");
	NSUInteger eventMask =  NSLeftMouseDownMask| NSLeftMouseUpMask | NSPeriodicMask;
	while ((theEvent = [[self window] nextEventMatchingMask:eventMask])) {
		NSLog(@"onLoop");
		switch ([theEvent type]) {
			case NSLeftMouseUp:
				NSLog(@"up");
				timerOn = NO;
				[NSEvent stopPeriodicEvents];
				break;
			case NSLeftMouseDown:
				NSLog(@"down");
				[NSEvent startPeriodicEventsAfterDelay:0.1 withPeriod:0.1];
				break;

			default:
				break;
		}
	}

But of course its completely wrong, it never go out from the loop... I tried a different approach usign a NSTimer, but found myself going nowhere also...

Can somebody give me some advice, or where can I find info?, i have been looking around but hadn't found something... I know this should have been asked already, so there must  be a way to do this.

Thanks in advance .. and happy new year.

Gustavo
