How do I disable the "Space" Key on the keyboard in Swift?
In Swift 2.1
func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
let whitespaceSet = NSCharacterSet.whitespaceCharacterSet()
if let _ = string.rangeOfCharacterFromSet(whitespaceSet) {
return false
}
return true
}
In Swift 2.0
func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
let whitespaceSet = NSCharacterSet.whitespaceCharacterSet()
let range = string.rangeOfCharacterFromSet(whitespaceSet)
if let _ = range {
return false
}
else {
return true
}
}
Yes you can do it. Override UITextField
delegate method shouldChangeCharactersInRange
. And in that method check for space character. If found than return false.
Note: Don't forget to set delegate for textfield.
func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
if (string == " ") {
return false
}
return true
}
Edit: More Code
class ViewController : UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
@IBOutlet weak var textField : UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
textField.delegate = self
}
func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
if (string == " ") {
return false
}
return true
}
}
Here textField
object is an IBOutlet. It means that text field control is in storyboard and connected with this variable.
Swift 4.1/4.2/5.0/5.1/5.2
func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
if string == " " {
return false
}
return true
}
