Button sends text to text field

[Sounder]

I need to create a Button that when pressed will enter a string of text into a text field - any ideas out there?

I think the easiest way is to just use an IB action and tell the label to display the text. This isn't tested. Just to get you started.

// Define action (method) that will get called in response to a tap on the button 
- (IBAction) displayTextButton {
//Define text string to be disaplayed
NSString *item = @"My text to display";
// this is how we write the string to the text field
textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", item];
}

Thank you so much - will this put the text into a pre-defined text field or will appear on the screen as an editable string?
