uitextfield hide keyboard?

Question

On the iphone. When I press on the uitextfield I don't want a keyboard to popup.

I want the same behavior, just no keyboard at all. How can I hide/close the keyboard when the user presses the uitextfield?

Answer 1

If you want the exact same behavior, without the keyboard, try

textfield.inputView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];

Answer 2

Returning NO to UITextFieldDelegate's - (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField should do it.
