Textfield event is never called in delegate

In my interface I have:

@interface MainViewController : UIViewController <SKProductsRequestDelegate, SKPaymentTransactionObserver, UITextFieldDelegate> {
    UITextField *Stock;
    // ....
}

This is the implementation I have:

- (BOOL)Stock:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range  replacementText:(NSString *)text
{
    if([[textField text] isEqualToString:@"\n"]) {
        [textField resignFirstResponder];
        return NO;
    }    
    return YES;
}

In the viewDidLoad I have Stock.delegate = self;

I am expecting this method is called after any character is typed in the text field. But this routine is never called. What is the problem?

Thanks

If this is a UITextField, you've just implemented a random method. The actual delegate method is

-textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:

Try providing that one.

  1. Declare MainViewController conforming UITextFieldDelegate:

    @interface MainViewController : UIViewController < UITextFieldDelegate >

  2. To be called this method of UITextFieldDelegate should be declared as:

    - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string

  3. In code or in IB MainViewController should be set to be delegate.

Correct and it will be fired as supposed.

Did you wire the TextField (Stock in your case) Delegate to FileOwner ?

If not then try this in viewDidLoad method of the Controller

Stock.delegate = self;

Or you can just wire it in IB.
