I suspect you can get the effect you want by using a formatter on the text field. Someone was complaining on this list a week or two ago that 10.4+ style formatters never set properties to nil values, but this sounds like the behavior you want.

There's another reason you should generally be using formatters. Without them, the value of the text field gets sent *as a string*, which eventually gets converted to a scalar with [NSString integerValue] or [NSString doubleValue] (etc). Unfortunately, there's no [NSString unsignedIntegerValue] (etc) so if your property is type NSUInteger (etc) the conversion will throw an exception.

When you use formatters, the value of the text field gets sent as a NSNumber, which supports all the conversions to a scalar.


I guess that's the way to go, thanks!

Markus
