Using an NSTimer in Swift

Question

In this scenario, timerFunc() is never called. What am I missing?

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {

    var myTimer: NSTimer? = nil

             


        

Answer 1

NSTimer's are not scheduled automatically unless you use NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:

myTimer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(5.0, target: self, selector: "timerFunc", userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
