The property syntax is great until you need one more thing. Think of a NSView and that view displays a value.
@synthesize value; Now you also want to setNeedsDisplay: when a new value is set. So one can override the setter. - (void)setValue:(NSString*)theValue { ... [self setNeedsDisplay:YES]; } but - you would have to implement the setter yourself. No big deal - but... it sucks. Is there a way to forward the setting to the originally synthesized setter? Super cannot be it. Of course one could add another selector that to the interface - (void) setValueAndUpdateDisplay:(NSString*)theValue { self.value = theValue; [self setNeedsDisplay:YES]; } ...but that sucks, too. There gotta be a better way! How do you deal with this? cheers, Torsten _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
