how to show pickerview in uitextfield not the keyboard?

Question

I want to show a UIPickerView on becoming FirstResponder of a UITextfield not the keyboard and fill the value in text field form the picker view.

any one knows this?

Answer 1

Check out the code at (there is both textview+tabbar and pickerview+tabbar code)

UITextView and UIPickerView with its own UIToolbar

this will get the pickerview to resign etc. All u need to do then is use the pickerview delegate method to update the text view

- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component

Instead of using a textfield, use a UIlabel, with a white background. That way the keyboard will not show when you tap it. override the touches event on the UILabel, when that happens call the method form the privious question that will display the new view.

 -(void) addToViewWithAnimation:(UIView *) theView
