I have a subclass of UITextField so that I can add an IndexPath item to the textfield that looks like this:
@interface jnTextField : UITextField
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSIndexPath *indexPath;
@end
Then I added the textfield to a UITableViewCell in InterfaceBuilder. However now when I try to set text color and font it doesn't set like if I was using the standard UITextField. What else do I need to override to get this working. I wasn't able to find anything explaining what I am missing. The code I am using to change text font/color/text is my cellForRowAtIndexPath method:
cell.textField.text = @"add url";
cell.textField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:14.0];
cell.textField.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
The problem is here... you have to avoid using the same property names used by UIKIT classes.
cell.textField.text = @"add url";
cell.textField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:14.0];
cell.textField.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
The textField is a property of UITableViewCell class therefore please change the custom UITextField's (jnTextField) name in your custom UITabelViewCell class something like.
cell.myCustomTextField.text = @"add url";
cell.myCustomTextField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:14.0];
cell.myCustomTextField.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
To achieve that you might have to case the cell like this
MYCustomCell *myCell = (MYCustomCell *)cell
myCell.myCustomTextField.text = @"add url";
myCell.myCustomTextField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:14.0];
myCell.myCustomTextField.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
Hope it will help you.
