iPhone: Issue disabling Auto-Cap/autocorrect on a UITextField

Question

For some reason, even though I disable the auto-cap and auto-correct of my UITextField, it's still capitalizing the first letter of my input.

Here is the code:

UITextField* textField = [[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(90.0, 10.0, 213.0, 25.0)] autorelease]; [textField setClearButtonMode:UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing]; textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyGo; textField.autocorrectionType = FALSE; textField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone; textField.delegate = self; if (inputFieldType == Email) {     label.text = @"Email:";     textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress;     emailTextField  = textField;     textField.placeholder = @"Email Address"; } else { // password     textField.secureTextEntry = TRUE;     label.text = @"Password:";     if (inputFieldType == Password){         textField.placeholder = @"Password";         passwordTextField  = textField;     }     if (inputFieldType == ConfirmPassword){         textField.placeholder = @"Confirm Password";         confirmPasswordTextField  = textField;     }  }

You're setting autocorrectionType to FALSE as if it were a BOOL, but it actually has type UITextAutocorrectionType. So FALSE is being interpreted as UITextAutocorrectionTypeDefault, which means that autocorrection is probably enabled.

I bet it found the name "Phil" in your address book and is autocorrecting the capitalization to match.
