Here is the IB part, pretty straightforward (File's Owner (a controller class) has a door object with a derived "fake" ivar called isMonumental:
<<inline: pastedGraphic.png>>
The tricky part in your case (and mine) is because your "ivar" is not an ivar but a derived value returned by a method, you need to tell the KVO system that. Here is my method:
+ (NSSet *)keyPathsForValuesAffectingIsMonumental;
{
return [NSSet setWithObjects:kTypeKey, nil];
}
In your case, you have more than one dependent key, which is fine, try
this (10.5 and later--there's another way for pre 10.5):
+ (NSSet *)keyPathsForValuesAffectingSchemaIsHidden;
{
return [NSSet setWithObjects:@"query", @"source", nil];
}
So now if either of those keys changes, KVO will do something like
notify everyone watching schemaIsHidden (what actually happens is
beyond my knowledge). If you had a "real" BOOL ivar, it would Just
Work without this extra stuff.

Based on history, there is a good chance I messed something up in this answer, so I hope someone will correct me if necessary.

OK, let me put this another way:Has anyone successfully bound the "hidden" attribute of an Interface object, so that it hides and shows when the ivar changes?
