Is there some way to have a keyboard of type UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad start in phone number pad mode rather than alphabetic? The keyboard works well for what I need but I'd like it to start in the "other" mode since that is more likely what the user will enter.

Hi

In the textfield in question, You set the kind of keyboard you would like it to "activate":

[self.myTextfield setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad];

Thanks RickiG but that doesn't quite get me where I need to go. The numberpad just has numbers. I need both numbers and letters but want it to default to numbers since that is likely what the user will need most. Good example would be something like apartment numbers that are typically just numbers but sometimes need a letter extension (e.g. 205A).
