NSTimer with a menu bar app
cocoa, nstimer, objective-c
Solution
I'm guessing the timer resumes as soon as you stop interacting with the NSStatusItem? (After the menu's dismissed & mouse button released).
The user interaction puts the main run loop into a mode where it doesn't update timers, so if your label has to continually update, you'll probably need to move the NSTimer and the label drawing to a separate process or another thread.
Problem
I'm working on a simple timer app, and I've created a NSStatusItem with a menu and I have some NSTextField labels that updates the timer labels (http://cld.ly/e81dqm) but when I click on the status item the NSTimer stops (and stops updating the labels)..... how can I get around this problem? EDIT: here's the code that starts the timer: `timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self selector:@selector(timerDidUpdate:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES]; `
