Using a value transformer at all seems like a poor choice, and using one in
Swift seems even less desirable.
If you are intent on using one, you’ll need to ask a more specific question.
What ‘id’ are you referring to? If you’re talking about the transformed value,
then you have to use an object — specifically NSNumber to represent a boolean
value. IOW, for your use case, the transformer would transform between NSNumber
and NSString.
Surely it would be far easier, though, to do what you would do in a modern
Obj-C app: use a derived property. Add a new property to the window controller:
class MyWindowController : NSWindowController
{
dynamic var message: String
dynamic var messageIsEmpty: Bool {return String == “”}
and bind the button’s Enabled binding to the “messageIsEmpty” property. That’s
not quite all, though, because as it stands, “messageIsEmpty” isn’t
KVO-compliant, so you also need to add:
static var keyPathsForValuesAffectingMessageIsEmpty: NSSet {return NSSet
(object: "messageIsEmpty”)}
