Xcode how to detect a view's properties changed?

How can I detect a view's x,y,width or height is changed ?

I want to implement that once a view's properties are changed, the other view's positions are reorganised.

For example, I have a webview which has dynamic height. Each time webViewDidFinishLoad I will change the height of webView, then the other view's position will be changed according webview.frame.

I have been thinking i change all the view's position inside the delegate function webViewDidFinishLoad. But i have too many views.

I want to know if I can implement this behaviour using " Key-Value Observing "

If i can, how to implement it.

//added KVO for webview
[webview addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"frame" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld context:NULL];  

//when observer changed would call:
- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context {
    if([keyPath isEqualToString:@"frame"]) {
        //do something
        NSLog(@"new:%@",[change objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey]);
        NSLog(@"old:%@",[change objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeOldKey]);
    }
}

//when you don't need kvo, remove observer
[webview removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"frame"];

keyPath
The key path, relative to the receiver, of the property to observe. This value must not be nil.

change
A dictionary that describes the changes that have been made to the value of the property at the key path keyPath relative to object.

You can use Delegate or NSNotificationCenter to push value to controller which is holding other views.

Hope this could help.
