Disable UITextField keyboard?

by

The UITextField’s inputView property is nil by default, which means the standard keyboard gets displayed.

If you assign it a custom input view, or just a dummy view then the keyboard will not appear, but the blinking cursor will still appear:

UIView* dummyView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1, 1)];    
myTextField.inputView = dummyView; // Hide keyboard, but show blinking cursor

If you want to hide both the keyboard and the blinking cursor then use this approach:

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    return NO;  // Hide both keyboard and blinking cursor.
}
