you could use UITextView's selectedRange to return the insertion point pf text. The below code shows how to it.

NSString *contentsToAdd = @"some string";
NSRange cursorPosition = [tf selectedRange];
NSMutableString *tfContent = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:[tf text]];
[tfContent insertString:contentsToAdd atIndex:cursorPosition.location];
[theTextField setText:tfContent];
[tfContent release];

I believe the UITextView selectedRange property should provide what you're after.
