uitextfield

I want to implement an UITextField which has rounded corners only at top left and top right corner. I know about the setter method setCornerRadius: which is a default option of UITextField, but this option only allows me to make all four corners of the txtfield round, but i only want the corners on the top to be round. I'm now messing around since hours, I have read through Appple's docs a dozen of times, but I'm still unable to find out why my code wont work: - (id) init { // init elements UITextField *txt_password = [[UITextField alloc] init]; UIView *txt_password_paddingVc = [[UIView alloc]

Is there any easy way to set a text field's hint to italic, while keeping the actual text non-italicized? The image below shows what I'm trying to accomplish, but doesn't actually work, as text typed into the first text field is still italicized. If there's no easy way to do this, I'm thinking that I'll have to implement methods on each of the text fields to check the length of the text, and if zero apply the italic font. This would work, right? Is there a better way? Try this: UIFont* italicFont = [UIFont italicSystemFontOfSize:[UIFont systemFontSize]]; [yourTextField setValue:italicFont

When a UITextField is selected and has a keyboard shown, if I tap other parts of the view the keyboard disappears. If I tap another UITextField , the keyboard stays up, the first textfield is deselected, and nothing happens. Then I need to tap on the other UITextFIeld again for selection to happen and a keyboard to appear. Is there a way to make a second UITextField immediately accessible when a first UITextField is selected? If you reload the tableview in textFieldDidEndEditing , you'll break selection in this way. Don't do that. try it, press another view should call below fn. -(void

I've a tableview and text field where I've implemented search method. Right now, when I write some value in textfield and click search button, then it search in the tableview . But, I want it to be dynamic means the moment I start typing in textfield it should start searching without clicking any button . How can I do this? Just Connect this method on Editing Changed Event of your TextField . So, this method is called when you are changing its value. - (IBAction)txtValueChanged:(UITextField)sender { [self dynamicSearchInto:sender.text]; //From here, we are passing text of textField. } Here,

i am trying to customise all UITextField appearances for borderWith. Trying something like this. Only first 2 lines are making a difference. Rest of the lines not working ? [[UITextField appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]]; [[UITextField appearance] setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; [UITextField appearance].layer.cornerRadius = 6.0f; [UITextField appearance].layer.borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor; [UITextField appearance].layer.borderWidth = 3.f; Unfortunately the appearance proxy doesn't work on layers to do what you want you should subclass UITextField and do your

To my understanding the object parameter of the addObserver method is the object you want to receive notifications from. Most of the time I see it as nil (I assume this is because notifications of the specified type are wanted from all objects). In my particular case I have a text field at the top of the screen and at the bottom of the screen and I want the view to move up only when the user taps the bottom text field, not the top one. So I call the following method in viewWillAppear func subscribeToKeyboardNotifications() { NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector:

I am creating an app with core graphics that needs to take text input and place characters at specific pixel offsets. Do I have to subclass UITextField or something and re-invent the wheel (redefine it to be a more abstract text entry widget - really I only need the events a UITextField generates) or can I somehow show the keyboard, receive it's events and dismiss it myself! Thanks! You could instantiate a UITextField with a frame that makes it invisible (off the "screen" to the left or the top for instance, and make sure the parent view is set to clip child views), and then call [myTextField
