Getting the value of GUI elements from non-main threads

Subject: Getting the value of GUI elements from non-main threads

I know that we can only modify GUI elements from the main thread, but can we get the values for objects from other than the main thread? E.g., assume I have an editable NSTextField, and I have a worker thread. The user edits the field, clicks a button, and the main thread hands off the analysis to a worker thread. The worker thread then directly queries the NSTextField via its stringValue method. Is this kosher?

Thanks,
Cem Karan
