I'm trying to configure an UITextField for Right-To-Left writing. I Can't get it to work. The problem starts with the required UITextRange parameter for setBaseWritingDirection, I will always get nil as return value.
textfield.text = @"hello world";
UITextPosition * startpos =[textfield beginningOfDocument]; // returns nil! why?
UITextPosition *endpos =[textfield endOfDocument]; // returns nil
UITextRange* range =[textfield textRangeFromPosition:startpos toPosition:endpos] ; // returns nil
[textfield setBaseWritingDirection:UITextWritingDirectionRightToLeft forRange: range ]; // does not work, range is nil
If I change the UItextField to an UITextView, the beginningOfDocument and endOfDocument method return a UITextPosition object.
Is that not implemented on UITextFields or am I doing something wrong?
