UITextField Clear Button Does Not Show

Question

I want to show a clear button always in a UITextField. I have tried to both set this in .xib Interface Builder: and in code using this line: [_firstNameField setClearButtonMode:UITextFieldViewModeAlways];

Neither causes the button to show. Help please.

Answer 1

When you set it to UITextFieldViewModeAlways the clear button appears as long as there is text on the UITextField.

Hope this helps!
