Adding a Timer to a Thread

What would you suggest is the preferred way to add a timer to a different running thread?



Normally, I would use:

    NSRunLoop *runLoop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop];
    [runLoop addTimer:aTimer forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];


However, this requires that it will be invoked from the context of the target thread. How do I get the runLoop for any other than the current thread?



Guess, I have to use performSelector:onThread:withObject:waitUntilDone:modes:




Thanks for hints.


Regards Andreas
