Question

I\'ve been trying to implement this toolbar, where only the \'Next\' button is enabled when the top textField is the firstResponder and only the \'Previous\' button is enabl

Okay, after looking at the brilliant BSKeyboardControls, I tried implementing the enabling and disabling of the segmented control in textFieldDidBeginEditing, instead of where my @selector was. I also introduced a variable for the segmented control. It works now. Here's the amended code snippet:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self.topText becomeFirstResponder];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];

}

- (UIToolbar *)keyboardToolBar {

    UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] init];
    [toolbar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
    [toolbar sizeToFit];

    self.segControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:@[@"Previous", @"Next"]];
    [self.segControl setSegmentedControlStyle:UISegmentedControlStyleBar];
    self.segControl.momentary = YES;

    [self.segControl addTarget:self action:@selector(changeRow:) forControlEvents:(UIControlEventValueChanged)];
    [self.segControl setEnabled:NO forSegmentAtIndex:0];

    UIBarButtonItem *nextButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:self.segControl];

    NSArray *itemsArray = @[nextButton];

    [toolbar setItems:itemsArray];

    return toolbar;
}

- (void)changeRow:(id)sender {

    int idx = [sender selectedSegmentIndex];

    if (idx) {
        self.topText.text = @"Top one";
        [self.bottomText becomeFirstResponder];
    }
    else {
        self.bottomText.text =@"Bottom one";
        [self.topText becomeFirstResponder];
    }
}


-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {

    if (!textField.inputAccessoryView) {

        textField.inputAccessoryView = [self keyboardToolBar];
    }
    if (textField.tag) {

        [self.segControl setEnabled:NO forSegmentAtIndex:1];
        [self.segControl setEnabled:YES forSegmentAtIndex:0];
    }
}
