I am showing a custom inputView for my UITextField like so

let inputView = UIView()
let button = UIButton()
inputView.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
inputView.addSubview(button)

let tf = UITextField()
tf.inputView = inputView

Now when the button is clicked I would like the tf (UITextField)'s text to change.

In other words - from within my inputView how can I access the parent UITextField ?

Thanks!

`inputView` could be an instance of a subclass of `UIView` which contains a reference to a `UITextField` object that you set to `tf` (`tf` is not the `inputView` parent) – DAN Mar 11 '16 at 09:47
Right. Although I would need to explicitly set the reference right ? – Prakash Raman Mar 11 '16 at 09:58
Yes, that's correct! – DAN Mar 11 '16 at 10:01
Right :) Was hoping I didnt need to do that. Looks like my only option though :) – Prakash Raman Mar 11 '16 at 17:03
