How to select a UITextField without showing UIKeyboard

I am wondering if there is a way to use a UITextField programatically (i.e. use buttons as inputs) so that you can select a UITextField but not show the UIKeyboard, then when you select a UIButton it would assign a string value to the currently selected UITextField.

I don't really know where to start.

It seems that you don't really need a text field (e.g., edit/select text, etc.), but a "button that stays highlighted" instead. Then, you can programmatically change the button's title label to the specified string when the user taps the 'proper' buttons.

I think you can visually change the appearance of the text field (for example add a blue border), let the user feel it’s “selected”. Then you just modify textfield.text when user presses button.

Or alternately, you can create a customized keyboard. There are many similar questions.
