Question

I’ve disabled auto-correction type for my text field,
and it does not show any other auto-correction,

but it still automatically creates a dot (.) when I press space key twice.

For example,
if I write “test” and press space key twice,
it automatically changes into “test. “

Anyone knows how to disable this feature?

Thanks a lot.

I found one solution – it uses UITextFieldTextDidChangeNotification because this occurs after the auto-correction applies.

1. Set the delegate for the text field

2. Set up a notification

   - (void) viewDidLoad {
...
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(textFieldDidChange:)
name:UITextFieldTextDidChangeNotification object:tfTitle];
}

3. Then, notification handler
   - (void)textFieldDidChange:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
if ( [textField.text rangeOfString:@". "].length ) {
// Change text
textField.text = [textField.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@". " withString:@" "];
}
}
