I have an app in which the user has to type a four digit pin code. All digits have to be at a set distance from each other.
Is there a way to do this if the PinTex
This is what eventually worked to set the kern for every change
textField.addTarget(self, action: "textFieldDidChange", forControlEvents: .EditingChanged)
func textFieldDidChange () {
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: textField.text)
attributedString.addAttribute(NSKernAttributeName, value: 5, range: NSMakeRange(0, count(textField.text)))
attributedString.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: font, range: NSMakeRange(0, count(textField.text)))
attributedString.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.blackColor(), range: NSMakeRange(0, count(textField.text)))
textField.attributedText = attributedString
}
func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
if count(textField.text) < 4 {
return true
// Else if 4 and delete is allowed
}else if count(string) == 0 {
return true
// Else limit reached
}else{
return false
}
}
The problem however remains because different numbers have different widths, I will just resort back to making a UITextField
for every digit.
