How to catch if an view or UITextField enters editing mode?

Question

I've subclassed an UITextField and inside that, I need to know if the text field is in editing mode or not. When editing mode changes from YES/NO I need to get notified somehow. I tried to overwrite the setter of the editing property, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there anything else?

Answer 1

You can get that event in textField's delegate using textFieldDidBeginEditing: method.

Alternatively you can add observer to listen for UITextFieldTextDidBeginEditingNotification notification.

Answer 2

We have a delegat method of textField that get calls autoatically when the textField enters into editing mode and while its exiting from editing mode

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
  EditingMode=YES;
}


- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
  EditingMode=NO;
}

hAPPY cODING...
