Clarification on setting a simple EZFormField

[johndpope]

Hi Chris,

Nice job on this library.

I wonder if you could clarify how to use / set fields that don't necessarily have an associated uilabel / uitextfield.

static NSString const EZFDRegistrationFormIssueLatitudeKey = @"Latitude"; static NSString const EZFDRegistrationFormIssueLongitudeKey = @"Longitude";

I am basically hooking up the formfields like this

        EZFormField *lat = [[EZFormField alloc]initWithKey:EZFDRegistrationFormIssueLatitudeKey];
        [form addFormField:lat];
        EZFormField *lng = [[EZFormField alloc]initWithKey:EZFDRegistrationFormIssueLongitudeKey];
        [form addFormField:lng];

then later in the class - trying to set this values. [formDelegate.form setModelValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", c.latitude] forKey:EZFDRegistrationFormIssueLatitudeKey]; [formDelegate.form setModelValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", c.longitude] forKey:EZFDRegistrationFormIssueLongitudeKey];

[EZFormField setActualFieldValue:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x170450f50

• (void)setFieldValue:(id)value canUpdateView:(BOOL)canUpdateView { [(id)self setActualFieldValue:value];

  if (canUpdateView && [(id)self respondsToSelector:@selector(updateView)]) { [(id)self updateView]; }

  __strong EZForm *form = self.form; [form formFieldDidChangeValue:self]; }

Is the EZFormField not intended to be used directly?

That's right, EZFormField isn't meant to be used directly. It is an abstract base class.

You can simply use a EZFormTextField (or any other concrete field type) with no control wired up. The form fields don't require UI to be attached.

Cheers, Chris
