Hello everyone
I have another design problem with my coredata program. The plan is to opensource this program, so your help won't go to waste.
I have a bunch of objects, each with a bunch of keys. When the value for these keys change, I have to update the value for another bunch of keys in different objects.
In previous versions, I added a postnotficiation method in every setter method for every key that I wanted to change (stil with me?).
But that seems a waste of code and time with objective-c 2.0 and @property - @dynamic.
So I have to observe the changes in another way.
NSManagedObjectContext handles all changes and updates the GUI, but overriding is strongly discouraged by the documentation.
The code below is another option I found in several places, but this is also giving problems.
output:
[/CODE]
observe
*** -[NSCFString userInfo]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x10770
*** -[NSCFString userInfo]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x10770
[/CODE]
What is the best way to proceed here? Thanks!
