# createConversationForConnection:

Returns an arbitrary object identifying a new conversation being created for the connection in the current thread.

```
- (id) createConversationForConnection:(NSConnection *) conn;
```

## Parameters

`conn`

The connection object for which the receiver is the delegate.

## Return Value

An arbitrary object identifying a new conversation being created for the connection in the current thread.

## Discussion

New conversations are created only if [`independentConversationQueueing`](/documentation/Foundation/NSConnection/independentConversationQueueing) is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> for `conn`. If you do not implement this method, `NSConnection` object creates an instance of `NSObject`.

[`+ (id) currentConversation;`](/documentation/Foundation/NSConnection/currentConversation)
