Hiding properties from public access

Question

I\'m trying to declare properties that are for internal use only in a Private category as such:

@interface BarLayer (Private)

@property (readwr         


        

Answer 1

Scott Stevenson (http://theocacao.com/) explains in his blog post "A Quick Objective-C 2.0 Tutorial: Part II" how to get Public Properties with Private Setters. Following his advice you will get a property that is read-only to the public, but has a private setter which can be used with the dot-syntax. Hope this helps...
