Capturing a UIText value

[y2kreddy]

Hello developers

i know how to capture a text value in a string,which obviously most of us knows . that is not what i want.

i am trying to capture any key pressed in a UIText field as and when it is typed and append the captured key value to a string. how can i do this?
i know its just custom method with less than 4 lines of code after using the "Editing changed" event. but i am not able to get there.

REMEMNER!!!!. i need to capture only the key that was pressed and not the whole string in the uitext field as and when it is typed.

Any Hint or code would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.
Good Luck.

You could override the

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string

method, and then use the

- (unichar)characterAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index

method on string to get the character.

Hey there

can you tell me how to do i append a string value to a UItext field.

for example :
if UItext already has value ABCDEF, and i have a string with value say, "lmonp". how do i append this string to UITEXT field value.

not all methods of nsstring can be used for uitext field. i am not able to use the stringbyappeningsting method for a uitext object, because it only responds to nsstring objects. is there any way around.

thanks.

mmm...google?.
However stringByAppendingString return a NSString.

NSString *string1 = @"Hello";
NSString *string2 = @"World!";
 
NSString *stringHW = [string1 stringByAppendingString @" "];
NSString *stringHW = [stringHW stringByAppendingString string2];

yourTextField.text = stringHW;

OR

NSString *stringHW = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", string1, string2];

yourTextField.text = stringHW ;
