UITextField with the lookup

Question

Hello, I would like to achive the same functinoanlity in the UUTextField control as Google search web site (which uses Ajax for this): as user start typing, list of suggestion searches is shown. Then more letteres you type, suggestion list changes.

So imaging I have array of words:

1. Apple
2. Abc
3. Aman

As user types A, all thress suggesions are shown, if user type one more letter p, then Apple is suggested.

How would I do something like this? Mail type of applicatins do it, when receipent name is typed in the To: edit control

I guess I can use UITableView with the search, is it correct approach?

Answer 1

You want a UISearchBar. It's designed to do exactly this. Its delegate provides the list to search and present.
