Question

I have a problem disabling editing of a UITextField. I’m trying to use my text field as a combobox but when I use my combobox style, my text is editable. When I set userInteractionEnabled = NO to prevent editing, I can’t see my text field as a combobox. What can I do for this problem?

Answer 1

You display an action sheet on textfieldediting.

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    if ([textField isEqual:myTextField]){
       UIActionSheet *actionsheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Please select an option" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Option1", @"Option2", @"Option3", nil];
       [actionsheet showInView:self.view];
       return NO; 
    } 
    return YES;
}

- (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

[myTextField setText:[actionSheet buttonTitleAtIndex:buttonIndex]];

 }
