Question

I know this is a basic question but i´m a little confused, so i hope you can help me. I have a tableview with multiple dynamic tableview cells, and inside each tableviewcell i have multiple textfields. Each cell has a different tag and also the textfields and i want to access the uitextfields values as you can imagine. My problem is, i´m not using IBoutlet for the textfields (it would be a enormous amount of IBoutlets)…I´m using – (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField…but i just can´t seem to make the correct connections in the IB, this is my code:

-(void) textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{

if (textField == [self.view viewWithTag:102]) {
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
}

After this, do i have to connect the respective UItexfield (and all textfields) to self? and then, do i have to use the editing did end event?…

Regards

I guess that the answer to this question is another question: What do you want to do with the text that the user enters?

I assume that you have some kind of data model that you want to store the data in.

If so, then when this function is called, you need to take the text that is already in the textField and save it to your data model immediately as it is entered.

For instance, you can access the text that was entered like this:

-(void) textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    if (textField == [self.view viewWithTag:102]) 
    {
        [textField resignFirstResponder];
        yourDataModel.stringToSave = textField.text;
    }
}
