Here's a peculiar little case that I hope is easy to resolve. Here's the case I ran into: I had bound an NSTextField to an attribute of an object. The interface at that point implied that the user could update the value in that field, then immediately click a button to perform an action. The

That's because you're getting an object pointer back, and any object pointer except for nil evaluates to true. Assuming you know it will only be one object inserted at a time, you'd want to do [[change objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey] boolValue]. Cheers, Chuck - Original Message
