I need to manually turn caps lock on, on the keyboard.
Using autocapitalizationType property won't do the job. The problem is I am implementing a bullet list feature, where after the user inserts a bullet I need to turn on the capLock right away. This doesn't happen using standard autocapitalization because the first letter in my paragraph is @"•" rather than the text the user needs to enter.
Any way to turn capitalization on manually?
I had a similar issue a while back and what I ended up doing was using the UITextFieldDelegate or UITextViewDelegate depending on which control you are using they both contain textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString: or textView:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString: which is called every time the content of the field is changed. This allows you to change the character values automatically.
Hope this helps.
