Set UITextField Maximum Length [duplicate]

Answer 1

This works correctly with backspace and copy & paste:

#define MAXLENGTH 10

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *) textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {

    NSUInteger oldLength = [textField.text length];
    NSUInteger replacementLength = [string length];
    NSUInteger rangeLength = range.length;

    NSUInteger newLength = oldLength - rangeLength + replacementLength;

    BOOL returnKey = [string rangeOfString: @"\n"].location != NSNotFound;

    return newLength <= MAXLENGTH || returnKey;
}

UPDATE: Updated to accept the return key even when at MAXLENGTH. Thanks Mr Rogers!
