POProgrammatically set delegate to every UITextField

copied!<p>i'm more or less new to objective C programming, so maybe this will sound a little weird..</p> <p>i'm trying to programmatically set the delegate of a lot of UITextFields from an UIViewController that is the parent of the actual UIViewController that contains the UITextfields. Basically it the same of doing right-click on the UITextField, and setting the UIViewController as the delegate of this control. </p> <p>I've tried to loop the self.view.subview array but I only get 2 UIImageViews (i'm still trying to understand this... i think is something about using static cells but I'm confused). So the next option was to loop through all the properties of the class.</p> <p>Using a mix of codes of stackoverflow i've almost done it, but I still need to send the message to the textfield per se.</p> <pre><code>unsigned int count = 0; objc_property_t *properties = class_copyPropertyList( [self class], &count ); for( unsigned int i = 0; i < count; i++ ) { objc_property_t property = properties[i]; const char* propertyName = property_getName(property); NSLog( @"property: %s", propertyName ); //this is actually correctly writing the name of the properties objc_msgSend((id)GetTheObjectThroughTheName, @selector(setDelegate:), self); } </code></pre> <p>The thing is I don't know how to get the object related to the property only using the name of the property... but if i can get it and use the objc_msgsend using that object as receiver it will be solved.</p> <p>Any ideas on that?</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p>
