Hello
A simple question: how can I block UI thread without using sleep?
Just to be clear: I understand that UI will freeze for user, but that's the idea...
Can I run empty RunLoops? Any other ways.
thank you

A:
If you just want to block all interaction with your UI, call the UIApplication method -beginIgnoringInteractionEvents. If you're actually trying to prevent the entire UI from doing anything (which is not a good idea—your application might block the appearance of a system notification, for instance), then yes, an NSRunLoop would probably be the right approach.

yes, this is ok. But just for example: how to block everything with RunLoop?

I'm not too familiar with run loops, but I think starting one with -run or -runUntilDate: would do that.
