There is a property for this called keyboardType  What you ll want to do is replace where you have strings    Number Pad and   Default with UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad and UIKeyboardTypeDefault   Your new code should look something like this    if user is prompted for numeric input only       textField setKeyboardType UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad    else if user is prompted for alphanumeric input       textField setKeyboardType UIKeyboardTypeDefault     Good Luck

It s worth noting that if you want a currently-focused field to update the keyboard type immediately  there s one extra step      textField is set to a UIKeyboardType other than UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress   textField setKeyboardType UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress    textField reloadInputViews     Without the call to reloadInputViews  the keyboard will not change until the selected field  the first responder  loses and regains focus   A full list of the UIKeyboardType values can be found here  or   typedef enum   NSInteger       UIKeyboardTypeDefault      UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable      UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation      UIKeyboardTypeURL      UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad      UIKeyboardTypePhonePad      UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad      UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress      UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad      UIKeyboardTypeTwitter      UIKeyboardTypeWebSearch      UIKeyboardTypeAlphabet   UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable   UIKeyboardType
