Select all text in a UITextField using Swift

Question

How do you programatically select all the text in a Swift text field?

var textField:UITextField = UITextField() textField.frame = CGRectMake(2, 25, 200, 20) textField.text = "hello" textField.font = UIFont(name: "Verdana", size: 12) textField.textColor = UIColor.blackColor() textField.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor() 

Or at least make the text immediately editable?

Thanks

Answer 1

It works in the same way like in Objective-C:

textField.becomeFirstResponder()  textField.selectedTextRange = textField.textRange(from: textField.beginningOfDocument, to: textField.endOfDocument) 

Answer 2

textField.becomeFirstResponder() textField.selectAll(nil)
