Tags in TextField

Question

My problem is- i have three cell, within that i have each textfield now i want the user is clicking in which textbox. This method textFieldDidEndEditing gives me the value which user is inputting but i dont get any tag of the textfield

Answer 1

Hi Mukesh,

nameField.tag = 1;

agefield.tag = 2;

// in the delegate method just check

if (textField.tag == 1) { NSLog(@" clicked in Name field");

} else if (textField.tag ==2) { NSLog(@" clicked in Age field"); }

Answer 2

If you were to retain each text field in an instance variable, you could do a simple comparison in your delegate method to see which field had finished editing. You can do this even if you create them completely dynamically by using an associative array to map from the instance to the field name, or vice-versa.

Answer 3

Why are you relaying on textfields?? You will be having the textfields inside a cell right? Which means that you are customizing the UITableViewCell. Tell me how exactly you are adding the textfield into cell?
