You rework your approach to not require these things to be complete before your code continues. Throwing up a modal "please wait" UI until the callback gets executed is a common approach whenever the user can't logically expect to proceed until the app is done with some processing. An asynchronous API is preferable because it lets you return to the runloop and process user events, rather than get stuck in a busy loop that is indistinguishable to the OS from a hung process. --Kyle Sluder_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
