Programmatically change UITextField Keyboard type

Question

Is it possible to programmatically change the keyboard type of a uitextfield so that something like this would be possible:

if(user is prompted for numeric i         


        

Answer 1

There is a property for this called keyboardType. What you'll want to do is replace where you have strings @"Number Pad and @"Default with UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad and UIKeyboardTypeDefault.

Your new code should look something like this:

if(user is prompted for numeric input only)
    [textField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad];

else if(user is prompted for alphanumeric input)
    [textField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeDefault];

Good Luck!
