updating object after edit

[Erik de Hair <e....@pocos.nl>]

Hi,

I need to update some properties of an object after editing the same 
object (by using the Edit button). I tried this with updated() and 
updating() methods but like [1] says this doesn't work (at least not in 
this case). Is there any other way of doing this while using the Edit 
button or do I need to create an update action to do this. I believe the 
EventBus can only be used for actions?

Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,

Sorry no-one's replied before now; still, better late than never...

Actually, the EventBus supports property changes too.  So I think you can
do it that way.  Just be aware that you'll get an event for each property
that has changed.

See for example the todoapp, [1], [2]
