detecting the change of content of UITextField when the change is not made by the keyboard

Question

I have a UIButton and a UITextField,when the button is pressed the textfield\'s content string will be equal to: This is a test string

Answer 1

You can handle text change within UIControlEventEditingChanged event. So when you change text programmaticaly just send this event:

textField.text = @"This is a test string";
[textField sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingChanged];
