Question

When the user types in my text field, I want the first letter of every word to be capitalised. One way of doing this is use textField.autocapitalisationType, which autocorrects every word after the user has typed it – but this method is causing separate problems for me (see my other question).

The Contacts app uses a different approach – when the user types a name, the shift key auto-highlights at the start of every word. How can I do this?

Answer 1

This should result in the text field capitalizing each word:

textField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeWords;

Alternatively, if you made the text field in Interface Builder, you could set its Capitalization property to Words.
