What is substitute of keyboard for iphone?

• I am making an application in which i have use a keyboard for input in text field. Now my client requirement is that he need a substitute of keyboard input for text field. Basically i have need increment and decrement value of text field. SO i need some other function which is used for increment and decrement value of text field. For that i have use keyboard and now i require any other function like increment and decrement operator or tap to increment and decrement text or any thing else. What i used for that purpose? Thanks in advances...

• Answer:

  Put a pair of up/down buttons next to the text field. UIButtons will still work when the keyboard is visible. You can also hide these buttons when they aren't needed.
