The code to derive the default setter and getter method names from a property name is in the compiler somewhere. The runtime can tell you the setter and getter and ivar names for a particular class's property, but knows nothing about key paths or name to name conversion. -- Greg Parker gpar...@apple.com Runtime Wrangler _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
