How to add a method to UITextField & UITextView?

Question

I want to put something like this in a method for UITextField & UITextView.

- (void)changeKeyboardType:(UIKeyboardType)keyboardType

Like @Josh said, method swizzling isn't what you are looking for. However what I actually had in mind (My bad for not researching more into it before submitting an answer) is to add method at runtime on UITextView and UITextField. While this needs a bit more code to implement, it can give you the sort of one-shot you are looking for (You create a method and add it to both UITextView & UITextField at run-time)

Here's a blog post about it:
