[Syphor]

Ok, I have made my simple IRC Client. It has 2 NSTextFields (serverHost & serverPort) and NSTextView (clientConsole) and a pushbutton (Connect)

I have made a sub class of NSObject called "Controller" with 3 outlets (for the text field/views) and an action (connect. I have linked the Connect button to the action connect:

The connect action uses smallsockets to connect to the specified irc serer/port. I made a loop like this:

Code:
responseSize = [response length];
    
    while ( responseSize > 0 ) {
        /* Read data from server */
        [socket readData:response];
        
        /* Translate data into ResponseString */
        responseString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:response encoding:[NSString defaultCStringEncoding]] autorelease]; 
    
        /* Update Console output */
        [clientConsole insertText:responseString];
        [clientConsole insertText:@"\n"];
    }

This reads the incomming data from the server and outputs it to the clientConsole (NSTextView). Though the problem is that It cuts out after a 30-sec timeout because my client doesn't reply to the server pings. Also it only updates the clientConsole (NSTextView) after the while statement. Is there anyway to refresh the clientConsole every while loop... like something at the end of the loop like refreshControl(clientConsole);

Any help what so every would be appreciated..

P.S. I once heard something about notifications in cocoa or something that might ba able to help me...

anway Thanks in advance!!
