Sorry beleg_1998 for not getting back to you sooner.

Heres an article on how to add a done button to the numeric keypad, which doesn't use Private API's and works with OS4

I'm using the sample code from iPhone: Number Pad with a decimal point (OS 3.0, OS 4.0) using public API devedup.com to add a decimal point to the number pad. I'm using a UITabBarController with 3 views, and it works fine, but only on the third (last) view. I'm guessing it has something to do with...

Code:

- (void) addButtonToKeyboard:(DecimalPointButton *)button {	
	//Add a button to the top, above all windows
	NSArray *allWindows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows];
	int topWindow = [allWindows count] - 1;
	UIWindow *keyboardWindow = [allWindows objectAtIndex:topWindow];
	[keyboardWindow addSubview:button];	
}

Has anyone used this code to add a decimal point to views in UITabBarController?

Hi,

How can I implement next, previous and done button on my keyboard as it appears in GameCenter. I want to implement these buttons on a tabbar which appears above the keyboard.

Thanks.

Apparently we were warned not to do this in the SDK 3.0 release notes, and since this "trick" relies on an undocumented call to find the name of the keyboard (walking the subviews until we find the one with the name we think it should be) it's going to - if it doesn't already - flag the code checker somehow...

The Apple recommendation was to submit a bug report.

The only other recommendation - from non-Apple employees in the forum - was to create a completely new, custom keypad and handle all the necessary events yourself. Not a great solution.

My App was just submitted with the Decimal point added to the keypad using this trick - so I guess I'll see if it gets through the gauntlet or not.

I've begun work on a totally custom keypad as a backup plan, but it's going to take some time to get it right and fully functional I'm afraid.

You will need to write your own and scroll it on to the screen just above the keyboard.
