How to detect tap on UITextField?

Question

I have a UITextField that has User Interaction Disabled. So if you tap on this text field, nothing happens. Normally to check if a text field was tapped Id try the delegate methods, but I cannot because user interaction is disabled. Is there any way I can check if the text field was tapped/touched? I change another element to hidden = no; when it is tapped so I was wondering if its even possible enabling user interaction.

Answer 1

Best option is to turn on User Interaction and disable edit action using delegate method.

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
     return NO;
} 

You can call your method inside that function to detect tap.
