Question

I am programatically adding a UITextField into a UIImageView. When I set the text property, I can see the text.

The issue is, it’s not letting me input text into it like an input field when I run the app.

This is my code for initializing the TextField:

UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
textField.frame = CGRectMake(38.0f, 0.0f, self.view.frame.size.width - 38.0f, 40.0f);
textField.text = @"Hello";
textField.background = [[UIImage imageNamed: @"field.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:12 topCapHeight:19];
textField.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
textField.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

[bar addSubview: textField];

Do I need to do something special to allow for text input?

Answer 1

If bar is an UIImageView, try to set

bar.userInteractionEnabled = TRUE;
