General/TRConsolidateMessages is a small class I wrote to consolidate messages for myself, it was inspired by General/NSNotificationQueue.

Unlike General/NSNotificationQueue I didn’t want to mess around with General/NSNotificationCenter for this code which must be called often yet is relatively slow (redrawing).

I am releasing this code to the everyone under the BSD Licence so that everyone may benefit.

Upsides:

• Only one message instead of many is sent, speeding up your interface.

Downsides

• Messages are sent in the next run loop.

Usage: #import “Controller.h” #import “General/TRConsolidatingObject.h”

@implementation Controller

• test:(id)sender { General/TRScheduleMessage(@selector(cpuhog),self,nil); General/TRScheduleMessage(@selector(cpuhog),self,nil); General/TRScheduleMessage(@selector(cpuhog),self,nil); General/TRScheduleMessage(@selector(cpuhog),self,nil);

  General/TRScheduleMessage(@selector(cpuhogWithObject:),self,General/[NSArray arrayWithObject:@”blah!”]); General/TRScheduleMessage(@selector(cpuhogWithObject:),self,General/[NSArray arrayWithObject:@”blah!”]); General/TRScheduleMessage(@selector(cpuhogWithObject:),self,General/[NSArray arrayWithObject:@”weee!”]); General/TRScheduleMessage(@selector(cpuhogWithObject:),self,General/[NSArray arrayWithObject:@”blah!”]); return self; }

• cpuhog { General/NSLog(@”cpu limiting function called”); return self; }

• cpuhogWithObject:(General/NSArray *)array { General/NSLog(@”%@”,array); return self; }

@end

You may also use the objC method: General/[[TRConsolidatingObject consolidator] scheduleMessage:selector to:target withObject:object]; However the function is easier to type.
