Volker,

I have tried using the below code to add my self as an observer then trigger an 
action but it doesn't work.


- awakeFromNib {
[self addObserver: self
            forKeyPath: @"name"
               options: NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew
               context: NULL];
}

-(id)init {
        dispatch = [[NSDictionary 
dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@selector(doSomething:),@"name", nil] retain];
}
...
- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath
            ofObject:(id)object
            change:(NSDictionary *)change
            context:(void *)context
{
    [self performSelector:msg withObject:object withObject:keyPath];
}

Is there something wrong that is blatantly obvious?

Cheers,
Josh.

Josh,

depending on where you need to get a notification:

a) within the same NSManagedObject or a relationship: 
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Protocols/NSKeyValueObserving_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSObject/keyPathsForValuesAffectingValueForKey:

b) in any other object: just register as observer as described in KVO basics: 
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/KeyValueObserving/Concepts/KVOBasics.html

Take note: The triggering happens not on the change of the TextFieldCell in a 
table, but due to a property changing.

When you have looked into KVO - what have you tried already?


Cheers,
Volker
