I have a UITextField that I want to set into editing mode (keyboard on screen and cursor in text field box) programatically. I know that the user will be in editing mode when this view appears onscreen, so I want to save the user from having to tap the text field.

The “editing” property of a UITextField is read only – so that doesn’t work. Is there a way to set the UITextField into editing mode, with a keyboard onscreen, programmatically?
