TextField Keyboard startup in Number mode

Question

I need the UITextField "ASCII Capable" keyboard to come up in numeric mode. I can't find an API for this, what am I missing?

Answer 1

Assuming you have a UITextField named textField, all you need to do is call the method:

[ textField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation ];

You may need to call this before the keyboard is displayed.
