Getting next button to work in a text field

[Makubesu]

I'm having my user fill out a form in my app. For example:
Name _____
Email _____

I would like to let the user switch between fields using a next button in the bottom right hand corner of the keyboard. In interface builder, if you select the return key drop down menu, you can change the "return" on the keyboard to "next".

However, when I fire up my app and push the next button, nothing happens. How do I tell my program that these text fields are linked together?

Put the textFields in an array or tag them. Then use becomeFirstResponder within the textFieldDidReturn (when next is clicked) for the next tag or item in the array. Apple doesn't do this for you.

Hey it's very easy to do... just hook up a IBAction to the first textfield (use DidEndOnExit).

Then do something like this

- (IBAction)nextPressedOnKeyboard {
// this gets called when the user presses next (on the first textfield) on the keyboard

[textField2 becomeFirstResponder]; //change the current editing textField to textField2

}
