nitrex88 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hey, im trying to get involved with the new iPhone SDK with interface builder. I prefer to work with a gui rather than make one with code, so i try to do as much as possible using interface builder. I understand all the Hello World tutorials and everything but i can't figure out something with a text field. I can put the text field into the window, write the classes, build and go, and when the program runs i can click the text field and make the on-screen keypad come up. However, i cant figure out a way to make the keypad dissapear when i click the return / done button. If someone can figure out how to do this using interface builder I would really appreciate some help. I think it has something to do with the editingDidFinish event but im not sure. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlarsson Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Which version of the SDK are you using? I just downloaded Beta 3 and I have a kind of the same problem only I don't even get a "close" button on the keypad. All the checkboxed a filled in and everything else works. If I click in another textfield which requires say text input instead of the number keypad the keypad changes but I can never get rid of it... A bug perhaps?

mdesaro Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 No offense to either of you, but you really need to read the docs. Right on the iPhone SDK developer page (http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhone101/Articles/chapter_1000_section_1.html) you will find a tutorial on how to dismiss the keypad. Now, the answer: You need to implement the UITextFieldDelegate (see docs) and them implement the following method: - (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)theTextField { [theTextField resignFirstResponder]; return YES; } Then somewhere in your controller add: textField.delegate = self; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrex88 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Thanks for showing me that. I didnt realize that there was new documentation since the release of interface builder and I should have looked harder. That was exactly what i needed. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iincorrect.user Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I thought i need only to setup an empty callback (ie IBAction) for "Did End On Exit" event of the UITextField (as IBOutlet) in the InterfaceBuilder! Like this: //header @interface MyView : UIView { IBOutlet UITextField *name; } And the keyboard will be hidden after editing is complete. And the keyboard will be hidden after editing ends. - (IBAction)doneButtonOnKeyboardPressed: (id)sender; //m-file @implementation MyView - (IBAction)doneButtonOnKeyboardPressed: (id)sender {} @end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
