ios - Moving the cursor to the beginning of UITextField

Question

Is there a way to make the cursor be at the start of a UITextField?

When I display the control with content, the cursor is placed at the end of the text. I'd like to move it to the beginning.

UITextField conforms to the UITextInput protocol, which provides methods that let you control the selected range. This works in my testing:

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    textField.selectedTextRange = [textField
        textRangeFromPosition:textField.beginningOfDocument
        toPosition:textField.beginningOfDocument];
}
