多线程中，NSTimer经常用到了，其中的userInfo属性大部分人都是直接赋nil，没去管它起啥作用。其实它是有作用的…传递信息。例子如下：

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
 UITableViewCell *newCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
 UILabel *cellLabel = (UILabel *)[newCell.contentView viewWithTag:1]; 
 [newCell setSelected:YES animated:YES];

 NSMutableDictionary *myDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
 [myDictionary setObject:tableView forKey:@"table"];
 [myDictionary setObject:indexPath forKey:@"indexPath"];
 // The colon after the onTimer allows for the argument
 [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.5 target:self selector:@selector(onTimer:) userInfo:myDictionary repeats:NO];
 [myDictionary release];
}
半秒钟触发一次onTimer: ,userInfo是以NSDictionary的方式传递信息给onTimer: 
- (void)onTimer:(NSTimer *)timer {
 NSLog(@"--- %@", [timer userInfo] );
 [[[timer userInfo] objectForKey:@"table"] deselectRowAtIndexPath:[[timer userInfo] objectForKey:@"indexPath"] animated:YES];
        // I have a reference to the tableView so I can do this below
        // but to show how the keys work, the call above these works
 //[table deselectRowAtIndexPath:[[timer userInfo] objectForKey:@"indexPath"] animated:YES];
}
你地明白？
