I'm adapting my iPad app to Mac with Mac Catalyst and am having a problem with the datePicker (it has a datePickerMode
of time). On iPad the datePicker is a wheel and whenever the user scrolls on the date picker the dateChanged action is fired. But on Mac the date picker is not a scroller and is instead a type of text input. I can type and change all the time values on Mac, but the dateChanged action won't be fired until I press the return key.
I would like to get the dateChange action fired whenever a user is entering in a time. How can I do this? I tried adding different targets to the datePicker but nothing work.
I actually prefer to have the date scroller on the Mac so if anyone knows how to do this instead I would greatly appreciate it (I looked all over the internet for this and found nothing)!
Here's my code:
class DateVC: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var datePicker: UIDatePicker!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//Just show the time
datePicker.datePickerMode = .time
}
//Action connected to datePicker. This is not called until I press enter on Mac
@IBAction func datePickerChanged(_ sender: Any) {
//do actions
}
}
