You will need to add the files to your Sparrow source.

<code objc>
SPTextField *inputField = [[SPTextField alloc] initWithWidth:300 height:220 text:@"This text is editable.\ninputField.inputEnabled = YES;\ninputField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;" fontName:@"Helvetica" fontSize:12 color:0x000000];
inputField.inputEnabled = YES;
inputField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
[self addChild:inputField];
[inputField release];
[inputField addEventListener:@selector(inputBegan:) atObject:self forType:SP_EVENT_TYPE_INPUT_BEGAN];
[inputField addEventListener:@selector(inputEnded:) atObject:self forType:SP_EVENT_TYPE_INPUT_ENDED];
[inputField addEventListener:@selector(inputCancelled:) atObject:self forType:SP_EVENT_TYPE_INPUT_CANCELLED];

Just tried adding this, I replaced the textfield files in the Sparrow framework and added both lines to my textfield:

inputField.inputEnabled = YES;
inputField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;

Gave the following errors:

error: request for member 'inputEnabled' in something not a structure or union
error: request for member 'returnKeyType' in something not a structure or union

Do I have to add something to the implementation to make it work?

Thanks
