UPDATED 2008-12-26: in general, all AppKit code should be called on the main thread.
Problem:
When using an NSAlert to display a sheet in a multi-threaded application, unexpected badness can happen.
I was using
beginSheetModalForWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector:contextInfo:
To display an NSAlert as a sheet.
But when the sheet appeared, the window it was attached to disappeared and got into some weird broken state where it would appear iff the application was not frontmost.
Fortunately, I remembered having encountered weirdness with NSAlert sheets before. The symptoms were different (previously the alert didn’t have focus), but the same solution still worked.
Solution: make sure the message to display the sheet is sent by the main thread. To do this, put the call to beginSheetModalForWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector:contextInfo: inside another method, showMyAlert, then use performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone: to make sure showMyAlert is called on the main thread.
Work around use runModal to display the alert as a modal dialog instead of a sheet. runModal Does not appear to have any problems when called from other threads.
Just like last time:
The whole incident feels funny to me. I suspect there may be some deeper issue at work that I am not aware of. When I have time to investigate further I shall update this post. Unfortunately I don’t have time to look into ‘solved’ bugs today.

online backup services provider. Using this plugin, users can also benefit from using Online Backup Services
software. Look at the chart above. The flowing of the pressured water activates
the online backup services system is not created equal.
The advantage of this over using Time Machine is available to
you. The reason was that I wanted to upgrade the hard drive
