Thanks Conrad for that full explanation which I now fully understand.
Actually the way I think of it now is that in this example "textField" is
really the name of a *method*.
As Ken stated earlier it's merely an error in the tutorial code.
For which I'm very glad since It made me carefully re-read the Declared
Properties chapter of OBJ-C 2.0.
One key thing to remember is that @property occurs in the method declaration
list.
Another is that @synthesize generates accessor *methods*;
So that in the expression if (sender == self.textField){senderName =
@"textField"; }
we are invoking the accessor method textField. As with any local method we need
self.
My first use of Obj-C 2.0. Yippee I learned something today.
Thanks everyone.
