how to get the CAPS LOCK (pressed Shift key) key state programmatically on IOS SDK?

Question

I'm writing custom text editor with specific chars (non-english).

I know about property - autocapitalizationType to change capital, but before to viewing (changing) of char i NEED TO know about state of current keyboard.

And how to get the CAPS LOCK (pressed Shift key) key state of keyboard programmatically on IOS 4.0 SDK?

Answer 1

Try this

self.yourTexField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeAllCharacters;

Answer 2

As of the moment, there is no way to enable CAPs lock on the keyboard simply because you can't touch/modify Apple's APIs. The only states you can receive from their keyboard are:

UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
UIKeyboardDidShowNotification
UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
UIKeyboardDidHideNotification

The only way you can do something like that is to create your own keyboard class or find a custom implementation online. Good luck!
