How can I skip a hidden UITextField when using IQKeyboardManager? Currently when I press the next arrow, it goes through every text field. And how to make the keyboard's next button go to the next text field?
Please uncheck enable for hidden field and also place hidden field end of the list in story board.

Im my application when the user selects a TextField the existing text gets automatically selected when the Focus changes to the textfield. How do I hide the blue selection handles that appear?
The reason I want to automatically select the existing text is so that the user can begin typing and the textfield will automatically overwrite the existing value instead of appending to it.
I figured it out. You can set the enableInteractiveSelection property to false.
I've been developing a programming where the user can select a list of fields from popup buttons, then they press a calculate button and then depending on the choices, a string of text gets outputted to a UIText Field.
However I would like for the text field to be cleared when the user starts selecting other choices in the popup button before pressing the select button.
Is there anyway this is possible?
Just right this code in the place where that happens:
/*You can replace theTextFieldYouAreTalkingAbout with the one you are talking about*/
theTextFieldYouAreTalkingAbout.text = ""
I am working on a ToDo list app wherein I keep the focus on the textbox input after the user adds a ToDo item.
Now, the problem is, when the user adds some text input and hits the add button, the focus on the textbox is lost so the keyboard disappears and then the focus gets back to the textbox. So, the keyboard disappears and appears again in a short interval. As you can imagine, this is bad UX.
How do I set the keyboard to be shown explicitly when the focus is on the input button?
I fixed it by setting the focus onto the textbox first when I click the add button then do the actual adding stuff.
I am wondering if there is a way to use a UITextField programatically (i.e. use buttons as inputs) so that you can select a UITextField but not show the UIKeyboard, then when you select a UIButton it would assign a string value to the currently selected UITextField.
I don't really know where to start.
I think you can visually change the appearance of the text field (for example add a blue border), let the user feel it’s “selected”. Then you just modify textfield.text when user presses button.
Or alternately, you can create a customized keyboard. There are many similar questions.
It seems that you don't really need a text field (e.g., edit/select text, etc.), but a "button that stays highlighted" instead. Then, you can programmatically change the button's title label to the specified string when the user taps the 'proper' buttons.
I am writing an iPhone app with a keypad and two TextFields on a single view. The user types into each of the text fields. Because I want to use an on-screen keypad, I disabled the the keyboard from launching when each TextField is selected. (I used the method suggested in this thread:
Disable UITextField keyboard?
So far so good EXCEPT the cursor doesn't blink in the either of the two TextFields until they are selected. If I just begin typing without selecting, the first textfield is filled. That's OK, but I would like to set the cursor flashing in that field so the user is notified that that is where the input will go unless they select the other field.
I did not create the text fields programatically. I created them with Interface builder.
How do I programatically select the desired starting text field (ideally some highlight would show up when selected). Right now I just got lucky and the field I want to be the default is the default.
How do I place the flashing cursor onto the right side of that text field.

Call [myTextField becomeFirstResponder]; this will notify the receiver that it is about to become first responder in its window. That should set the Cursor in the UITextField.
To programmatically activate a field and make it your starting text field you should use UIResponder's becomeFirstResponder method, which all UITextFields inherit from.
[textField becomeFirstResponder];
