iPhone: Set value of current textField

Question

Hi...

I am calling an action from textFieldDidBeginEditing as follows:

[dotButton addTarget:self action:@selector(actionButton:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

and specifiying my action as:

- (void) actionButton:(id)sender {
textField.text = [textField.text stringByAppendingString:@"APPROVED"];
}

Simple question with hopefully a simple answer....

textField.text refers to the field named textField but how do I update the current field that textFieldDidBeginEditing is acting on at the time?? i.e can I set a variable to retrieve the current fieldname?

Thanks

You should check whether or not the textField the label of your interest. An example:

if (textField == self.firstLabel){
  //do something
}
else if (textField == self.secondLabel){
  //do other something
}

The textField variable that is passed from the delegate method is the one that you should handle.

Tell me if it works. Good luck!
