Question

I just started reading up on Objective-C yesterday, and i can’t quite figure why my

textFieldShouldReturn

method isn’t being run.

This is the actual method:

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
    self.itemTxt.text = @"Return pressed";
    return YES;
}

This is the interface line in my header file:

@interface ArrViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>

Answer 1

You need to actively set the delegate for the UITextField:

For example, in viewDidLoad you could write:

myTextField.delegate = self;

You can also hook this up in Interface Builder if desired.
