Hmm, interesting, I didn't think of that. I remember in some earlier code I did
something like so, using a notification... just as an example in some iOS app:
- (void)textFieldTextDidChange:(NSNotification*)aNotification {
NSInteger remaining = [[aNotification.object text] length];
if (remaining < self.minLength) {
self.tableView.tableFooterView.hidden = NO;
[self.headerLabel setText:[NSString
stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString(@"Remaining characters required: %d", nil),
(self.minLength - remaining)]];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = NO;
} else {
self.tableView.tableFooterView.hidden = YES;
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = YES;
}
}
