iOS TextField 获取光标的位置

最近在做一个项目的时候，发现没有获取光标的方法。进过研究后，出来分享给大家：

1、新建一个工程，我使用的Xcode 7.2 也就是 iOS9.2，托转一个TextField；

2、新建一个类别，对TextFIeld进行一个扩展，也就是新建一个类别；

这是.h文件

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UITextField (ExtentRange)

- (NSRange)selectedRange;

- (void)setSelectedRange:(NSRange)range;

@end

然后.m文件：

#import "UITextField+ExtentRange.h"

@implementation UITextField (ExtentRange)

- (NSRange) selectedRange
{
    UITextPosition* beginning = self.beginningOfDocument;
    
    UITextRange* selectedRange = self.selectedTextRange;
    UITextPosition* selectionStart = selectedRange.start;
    UITextPosition* selectionEnd = selectedRange.end;
    
    const NSInteger location = [self offsetFromPosition:beginning toPosition:selectionStart];
    const NSInteger length = [self offsetFromPosition:selectionStart toPosition:selectionEnd];
    
    return NSMakeRange(location, length);
}

- (void) setSelectedRange:(NSRange) range
{
    UITextPosition* beginning = self.beginningOfDocument;
    
    UITextPosition* startPosition = [self positionFromPosition:beginning offset:range.location];
    UITextPosition* endPosition = [self positionFromPosition:beginning offset:range.location + range.length];
    UITextRange* selectionRange = [self textRangeFromPosition:startPosition toPosition:endPosition];
    
    [self setSelectedTextRange:selectionRange];
}

@end

大家也看到了，就是基本上一个重写的Set 和 Get 方法，值得一提的是这里所定义的

selectedRange

变量，它在UITextView是有这个属性的，但是在UItextField中确实没有的。

那么我们现在来对这个方法进行测试：

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "UITextField+ExtentRange.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *textField;

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    UITextField *tmpTextField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 30, 100, 40)];
    
    [self.view addSubview:tmpTextField];
    
    tmpTextField.text = @"121";
    [tmpTextField becomeFirstResponder];
    
    NSRange range = [tmpTextField selectedRange];
    
    NSLog(@"%lu and %lu", (unsigned long)range.location, (unsigned long)range.length);
    
    self.textField.text = @"ddwa";

    NSLog(@"localhost is %lu, length is %lu", (unsigned long)[self.textField selectedRange].location, (unsigned long)[self.textField selectedRange].length);
    
    [self.textField setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 1)];
    
    NSLog(@"localhost is %lu, length is %lu", (unsigned long)[self.textField selectedRange].location, (unsigned long)[self.textField selectedRange].length);
    
    [self.textField addTarget:self action:@selector(didChangeWithTextField:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingChanged];
}


- (void)didChangeWithTextField:(UITextField *)textField{
    
    NSRange range = textField.selectedRange;
    
    NSLog(@"%lu and %lu", (unsigned long)range.location, (unsigned long)range.length);
    
    NSLog(@" ... ");
    
}

可以看到  我在UIVIewDidLoad中写的变量，所得到的坐标位置都是（0 ， 0）；

然后我对这个textField添加了一个当值改变的一个监听，每次输入数值的时候，会有看到打印出来数据的变化。
