Hello,

I have a NSThread that i would like to timeout after a certain amount of time.

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(someFuntion) toTarget:self withObject:nil];

- (void) someFunction {
   //Some calculation that might take a long time.
   //if it takes more then 10 seconds i want it to end and display a error message
}

Any help you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Zen_silence
