Hmm.. Thought this would be easy but I'm stuck...

Here's what I've done:

- added the fake property BOOL needSaving
   @property(assign, nonatomic) BOOL needSaving;
  @synthesize needSaving;

- implemented keyPathsForValuesAffecting (I'm on Leopard)

+ (NSSet*)keyPathsForValuesAffectingValueForKey:(NSString*)key
{
	NSSet* set = [super keyPathsForValuesAffectingValueForKey:key];

	if ([key isEqualToString:@"needSaving"]) {
		set = [set setByAddingObjectsFromSet:[NSSet setWithObjects:
									@"lastName",
									@"firstName",
									  ...
									 nil]];
	}

	return set;
}

Now, I just can't figure out how I should implement - (BOOL) needSaving! Setting it to NO in -init and implementing it like this obviously doesn't work:

- (BOOL) needSaving
{
	return YES;
}

Thanks,

Andre Masse

Let's say I have a class (called it Client) that has 25 fields and need to be notified when any of these is modified. Do I have to do - observeValueForKeyPath for each of the 25 fields?

You can add one "fake" property, use +keyPathsForValuesAffecting<Key> to tell KVO that all of your other keys affect the value of this one property, and then observe that one key.


On Tiger, you'd have to use +setKeys:triggerChangeNotificationsForDependentKey: to tell KVO about the dependencies.

Cheers,
Ken
