I need to place custom keypad.

For that, I need to disable my default iPhone keypad.

For that I use:

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
   return NO;

}

If I use this the cursor isn't visible.

So, I don't find which textfield is selected.

I need functionality so that my keypad is the same as the default keypad.

Can anyone help me.

Thank you in advance.

if your app is going to be iOS 3.2+, check out the inputView property of your text view. That can point to a view that replaces your keyboard.

For TextView use this 

 - (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView{


        return NO;
    }

and for TextField use this

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
   return NO;

}

    Why do you want to hide the keypad,only if you want to show some data in this which would be coming from somewhere.You need to do some logic implementaion well what would i do at this moment,simply put the button (custom button)over the text field and when you would click that button you would get to know which text field was that as the button would be over the textfield and it won't hide your textfield data it would be shown.Also try to give the tag for your textfileds which would also make your implementaion more easy.And don't forget to accept the answer if it helps you and vote up. – Sabby Jan 05 '11 at 07:26
  • ya i am trying this i place the button over textfield in that button click i write [textfield resignFirstResponder]; Keyboard hide but text field does n't get focus.I know which textfield selected but how can i identify user selected textfield. – Mahesh Babu Jan 05 '11 at 07:50
  • You can do it in your viewdidload. No need for a button. Simply use the textfield object. – Swastik Jan 05 '11 at 08:02
  • - (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField { return NO; } & in viewdidload make it as first responder – Swastik Jan 05 '11 at 08:03

    @Swastik how would you get the focus on the textfield,at the time you click the text field its delegate method would be called - (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField .And you are telling him to make textfield first responder in the viewDidLoad which is called only once when the view will be loaded,but what about the delegate method of the textfield which is called every time you start to edit the textfield.So better to give better answer and firstly implement yourself.I have done your way,doesn;t work.And think before votedown got it.......and read the ques. first – Sabby Jan 05 '11 at 09:09
  • I am not saying you to try in my way you are not forced to do that,but eventually i would like to tell you that don't criticize anyone, either by voting down or else.you did the vote down for me.And more over when you put an answer,try to do work on that before uploading.Thanks dear and enjoy – Sabby Jan 05 '11 at 10:40

  • You can use my code & make the textfield you waant the focus as firstResponder.This way there will be no keyboard visible & only your cursor will blink.k.try it out, it works – Swastik Jan 05 '11 at 07:59
