GUI Time Field

I am trying to put a automatic date and time field into my GUI.

I have a text field connected to a variable called "theDateTime" in my 
controller class. If I set the variable manually the text field works 
just fine. But I want it to update automatically. My code is attached.

Thank you

#import "Controller.h"


@implementation Controller

- (id) init {
   [super init];
   [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(runClock) toTarget: self 
withObject: nil];
   return self;
}

- (void) setDateTime {
   NSAutoreleasePool *tempPool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
   theDateTime = [NSDate date];
   [tempPool release];
}

- (void) runClock {
   bool keepRunning = true;
   do {
       // sleep the specified time
       usleep(5000000);
       [self setDateTime];
       
   } while (keepRunning == true);
}
