Set UITextField Maximum Length [duplicate]

Answer 1

This is similar to coneybeare's answer, but now the text field can contain a maximum of MAXLENGTH symbols:

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
    if ([textField.text length] > MAXLENGTH - 1) {
        textField.text = [textField.text substringToIndex:MAXLENGTH];
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}
