Question

I have a UIButton and a UITextField,when the button is pressed the textfield\'s content string will be equal to: This is a test string

Answer 1

Maybe simple key-value observing will work?

[textField addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"text" options:0 context:nil];

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context {
    if([keyPath isEqualToString:@"text"] && object == textField) {
        // text has changed
    }
}

Edit: I just checked it, and it works for me.
