Thank you

I ran into an issue with this though. If you add a button on the view that brings up the alert with text field you can hold down inside the text field and let go and the ‘paste’ option appears as usual.

But after the first time if you bring up the alert a second time (and every time thereafter) the paste option no longer works! The little magnifying glass still pops up but when it goes away, there is no paste option!

Anyone have any idea why this might be?

Then used myTextField.text in the alertView method…

Easy, just needed to use my brain!

Just one question how do you get the value from the text field?

I have tried adding textFieldDidEndEditing, but i never get in the method.

I do have ever jump to my -(void)allertView: etc method but can’t then get to my text box value.

Your help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@”Enter Name Here” message:@”this gets covered!” delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@”Dismiss” otherButtonTitles:@”OK!”, nil];
UITextField *myTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12, 45, 260, 25)];
myTextField.delegate = self;

[myTextField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[alert addSubview:myTextField];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3];

CGAffineTransform myTransform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, -60);
[alert setTransform:myTransform];

[UIView commitAnimations];
}

UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithCenter:CGPointMake(0,0)];
SmartAlertView *smartAlertView = [[SmartAlertView alloc] initWithView:myView andTitle:@”JustForFun”
withTarget:nil andAction:@selector(doSomething:)];
[smartAlertView show];
[smartAlertView release];
[poof release];

This is great. Thanks you.

Could you post a little code to show how to access the value of the text box, say, in a

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

method.

Thanks.

Do you think this is in-keeping with Apple’s UI guidelines? I’ve done this for a while in an App, but I recently decided to switch to a modal view because I wasn’t convinced I was doing the right thing. The other reason I switched was that it takes ages for the UI to appear on a non-3gs phone.
