Hi,I am working on a multithreaded software that runs on a medical instrument. The software has 2 parts. GUI and worker threads (worker threads sends commands to instrument). The GUI is developed using ObjectiveC and Cocoa. Worker threads are all in C and Carbon.It is a Cocoa application.I am working on GUI of the software.When the application starts it first creates worker threads ( that initializes the hardware/instrument). Once the threads are created one of the thread sends a message back to main thread. My problem isi need to start a timer when the main thread receives a message from worker thread. I am starting a timer as follows:timer = [[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10.0 target:self selector:@selector(turnOffLight:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO] retain];But it does not work. I debugged it and found that the timer is created but "turnOffLight" is never executed.Then I created the timer just before worker threads creation and it worked. Can anybody help me in resol
ving this problem.Thanks & RegardsAbhijeetGet Yourself a cool, short @in.com Email ID now!Report spam
