Hide/remove buttons from keyboard

Is it possible to access/remove buttons from the keyboard on iPad?

I want the user to have access only to the number keyboard without possibility to switch between other types of keyboard. For this, i need to hide/disable "switch buttons" (buttons with label "ABC").

keyboard

To access the keyboard i use:

UIWindow * tempWindow = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:1];
UIView* keyboard;

for(int i = 0; i < [tempWindow.subviews count]; i++)
{
    keyboard = [tempWindow.subviews objectAtIndex:i];
    if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIKeyboard"] == YES)
    {
          // access elements of keyboard
    }
 }

Also, the problem is that [keyboard.subviews count] = 0 , while the keyboard was found.

Each UITextField conforms to text input protocol called UITextInputTraits which declares property keyboardType. You can define the keyboard in interface builder or calling setKeyboardType: method on your text field. The keyboard types are defined in documentation. In your particular case you should use UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad for number input.
