@property setter for BOOL

I'm having problems setting a BOOL using @property and @synthesize. I'm using @property BOOL isPaused; And I can get it by using [myObject isPaused]; but I cannot manage to set it. I'd like to use [myObject setPaused: NO];. I also tried @pr开发者_如何学Pythonoperty (setter=setPaused) BOOL isPaused; but if I'm not mistaking, then I need to write that setter myself.

Why not use the dot notation?

myObject.isPaused = YES;
return myObject.isPaused;

If your property is declared as @property BOOL isPaused, then the setter is always called as

[myObject setIsPaused:YES];

To rename the setter you must provide the full signature including the colons:

@property(setter=setPaused:) BOOL isPaused;
...
[myObject setPaused:YES];

BTW, the naming convention is not to include verbs in a property.

@property(getter=isPaused) BOOL paused;
