I want to change the 'return' key of iphone virtual key to a completely customized name such as "Continue" instead of "Done". Can we do it? If yes then how? Can I remove the smily button which is marked in red rectangle.
You can't edit the keys like you want in your question. You can choose from some different types of Button-styles for your return-key but you can't change the text of it or remove keys. This keyboard is given and can't be changed.
If you want to do such kind of changes you will need to create your own Custom Keyboard.

I have a Gtk Entry that uses a Entry Completion object. I have set it up to an extent. If I enter the minimum key length number of characters the completion popup shows me available choices. So far so good.
Now what I want is that the text field should show the completion popup even it is empty, as soon as it has focus. Even if set the completion object's minimum key length to 0, the completion popup will not immediately appear as soon as the text field has focus. It will, however, appear if I enter something then delete it, leaving the text field empty.
My real goal is to select an item from a predefined list of choices, quickly, using the keyboard. What I did was to use a Gtk Entry attached to an Entry Completion Object which uses a List Store. Any alternatives are most welcome...
I am using gtkmm/Glade for doing my work. Please tell me if I need to add anything.
Thanks
If you just want to select from a list of predefined choices you'd probably be better using a combo box instead of a entry.
I need to focus a text input into the Facebook login popup. I am using a virtual keyboard to simulate a physical one, but when I click a key, the text input lose focus and the letter is not written into the field.
How could I maintain the focus in the text input?
I'm not sure if creating your own virtual keyboard is a smart idea since all mobiles already have one in there, you just need to set useSoftKeyboard in Flex.
Also, you can always remove focusability to your components by setting focusEnabled and hasFocusableChildren to false.
I finally came to another solution... Using getElementsByTagName('theElementID'), I could get a reference to the textInputs in the browser, and I could modify its attributes...
For example,
emailStringObject =this.html.htmlLoader.window.document.getElementById('email');
emailStringObject.value="example#correo.com"
I want to create a 4 character custom password entry like the iPhone lock screen page. It's going to have a custom designed keyboard pinpad, but thats not the question. I have 4 boxes for the entry of the pin, and each box is separated and has its own custom design. I currently have a clear UITextView on top of each box. However, I'm not really sure how to link all these together so that when I enter a number in the first box, it automatically advances to the next box so I can type the next number. After the last number has been entered, it should automatically check to see if the password is correct and if so do some action. What is the best way to do this?
When implementing UITextFieldDelegate you should check on textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:
and you can move keyboard focus to next UITextField via BecomeFirstResponder documentation
So on last UITextField you will hide keyboard and disable all UITextboxes automatically, but If I were you, I would prefer to provide button to start checking pin (to let user correct pin if mistyped)
Can any one please let me know how to disable the 'Go' button on keyboard?
The purpose is: when the text field is empty Go button has to be disable (gray color) and when type some thing the Go button become active and color blue. (Same as Apple Find iPhone app).
Many thanks
In Interface builder, tick the box which is labelled Auto-enable Return Key.
In code do: [textField setEnablesReturnKeyAutomatically:YES];
The Return key (Go key) will only be enabled when the text field is not empty.
Is there some way to have a keyboard of type UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad start in phone number pad mode rather than alphabetic? The keyboard works well for what I need but I'd like it to start in the "other" mode since that is more likely what the user will enter.
I believe that by setting the keyboardType property to UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation, you will default to the numbers and punctuation view, while still having the option of returning to the "ABC" view. Apple's documentation on it: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UITextInputTraits_Protocol/Reference/UITextInputTraits.html
Related question: how to show numbers in the default keyboard initially for UITextField
Unfortunately the answer to this question is NO, but there is a workaround.
You can use the UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad and add a custom button (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/4826342/61569) to switch the keyboard to UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad. The challenge with this workaround is to support the keyboard styles of different versions of iOS with this custom button
The UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad does not have the 'Done' or the 'ABC' button that will allow you to toggle back and forth between default keyboard and the NumberPad. Now you can choose to go with what #Anthony F suggested but remember you risk the chance of loosing the custom 'Done' button everytime Apple releases newer versions of iOS and move their keyboard window around. To achieve what you want, your best bet will be to set your keyboardType to UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation. This way, you have your keyboard NumberPad loaded up automatically when your view load and have the 'ABC' button also present to be able to toggle between the default keyboard also if you want.
self.myTextfield.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation;
In the textfield in question, You set the kind of keyboard you would like it to "activate":
[self.myTextfield setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad];
