I am not sure which class I need. I am looking to implement the following:

  • User clicks on NSButton ( Have this working)
  • Have a background task run once he does this. (have this working)
  • While the task is in progress, I want to display a small popup which indicates the task is in progress and asks the user to wait/give him some more informtion. ( This is where I need help)

I am not really sure what class would help me get this popup..NSPopup /NsAlert ?
Appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

    In addition to Peter’s answer: Spend some time perusing Interface Builder’s Library palette so you know what standard controls are available and what they’re called. Spend more time reading the AppKit API reference to get a feel for how they work in general.

    The specific control to display progress is an NSProgressIndicator. As Peter said, you can put this in a view or a sheet but the best approach really depends on the factors Peter mentioned.
