Number pad with decimal point and return key

Hi
Just checking I've got this right. I can now get a number pad with a decimal point , but it's not in interface builder... and there is no return key!?
Any shortcuts appreciated!

In IB, select the text field you want to change the keyboard for then look in the properties inspector, there is a "Numbers & Punctuation" option.

Thanks for reply. Yes, Ive seen that. Unfortunately it has a load of other characters. I just need what the numberpad has with a decimal point and done/return key.

I don't think you can do that with the default keyboard. You will need to create your own I think. Check this for more details Loading…

If you only target iOS users 4.2 and above, there is already a keypad built in with Decimal button and done key.

However if you plan to support for earlier OS, the only way is to customize it.

1. hack the UIKeyboard (probably apple dont like it)
2. just add additional buttons on top of it and animate to follow the keypad.
3. define your own view as the keypad. use the textFiel.inputView and define your own keypad.

i did the no.2. i have not explored no.1 and 3, so cant comment much on those.
