Getting the Value of a UITextField as keystrokes are entered?
- by Nocturne
Let's say I have the following code:
IBOutlet UITextField* nameTextField;
IBOutlet UILabel* greetingLabel;
I'd like the greetingLabel to read "Hello [nameTextField]" as soon as the user presses any key.
What I need basically is the iPhone equivalent of the Cocoa delegate method -controlTextDidChange:
The -textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange: delegate method is called each time a keystroke occurs:
- (BOOL) textField:(UITextField *)textField
shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range
replacementString:(NSString *)string
The string argument returns the character that is pressed. The actual textField's value (nameTextField.text) remains blank however.
What am I missing here? (I'd like nameTextField to reflect the exact string that the user has entered so far)
