If your isCloning is a property itself, can you use the dependent key registration logic instead?

[ self setKeys:[ NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"isCloning", nil ] triggerChangeNotificationsForDependentKey:@"cloningLable" ];

I've never tried this, but it's documented here and I recall reading about it.

Aha!

I was missing the willChangeForKey: call.

- (IBAction) toggleIsCloning: (id) sender
{
    [self willChangeValueForKey:@"cloningLabel"];
    self.isCloning = !self.isCloning;
    [self didChangeValueForKey:@"cloningLabel"];
}

Now it works fine, thanks!

I'm winding my way through KVO, readonly properties and bindings.

I have an object which has a bool state. I have a method that toggles that state.

I have a button that calls the method that toggles the state. The button has a title, which I've bound to a readonly property, which has a getter that returns a localized label based on the state.

So when I change the state, obviously the readonly property doesn't change, and thus the button label does not change.

Changing the readonly property to a normal ivar works fine.

Is there a way to use a synthesized property in this manner, or is it even proper?


You can solve this in the following two ways (amongst others):

(1) Redeclare the property as readwrite in a class extension in your .m file and then use dot syntax or the synthesized setter/ getter to set the value.

I.e.

.h:
@interface Foo : NSObject
{
    BOOL f;
}

@property(readonly, nonatomic) BOOL f;
@end

.m
@interface Foo()
@property(readwrite, nonatomic) BOOL f;
@end

@implementation Foo
@synthesize f;
// ... use the setter and getter as needed
@end

(2) Call willChange/didChange before/after you change the value:

- (void) toggle: sender
{
    .... logic ...
    [self willChangeValueForKey: @"f"];
    f = ... new state ...;
    [self didChangeValueForKey: @"f"];
}
