Translate the answer of Nick to swift:

P/S: Return false => the textfields cannot input, edit by the keyboard. It just can set text by code.EX: textField.text = "My String Here"

override func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    return false
}
