UITextField - how do I use a custom keyboard and disable the default keypad?

You can subclass UITextField and override canBecomeFirstResponder Return NO and it will never put up a keyboard. However, you'll need to be in charge of handling touches so you can enable/disable your own keyboard. This may affect cut/copy/paste behavior so think about whether you really want to do this.

Thanks for the idea, I came up with an alternative solution. I made a uitextfield and disabled the "user interaction". Then I created an invisible custom button on top of the uitextfield that targets a function that launches the keyboard.

The new decimal pad keyboard available in the latest iOS releases could be helpful too. – dwery Oct 21 at 1:42.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
