Q:

How to find out what UITextField caused a UIKeyboardWillShowNotification?

I am trying to use a customized keyboard in my application, but I am hitting problems when trying to restrict it to one particular UITextField.
I based my code on this Xcode project (originally found on this blog).  That code adds a custom UIButton (representing a 'decimal point') into the UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad keyboard view.  It does it by subscribing to UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and modifying the keyboard when it appears.
That Xcode project works great, but when I add an extra UITextField, the custom key gets put into the keyboard for that text field too, even though I have selected a completely different keyboard type for that text field.
I attempted to register to only see UIKeyboardWillShowNotification notifications from the one particular UITextField, but that doesn't seem to work:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:exampleViewController.textField];

I also tried to inspect the object inside the NSNotification passed to keyboardWillShow, but unfortunately it refers to the keyboard, not the UI control that caused the keyboard to appear.
2009-10-21 19:50:22.205 Example[6302:207] NSConcreteNotification 0x321ebd0 {name = UIKeyboardWillShowNotification; userInfo = {
UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey = 0;
UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey = 0.300000011920929;
UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey = NSRect: {{0, 0}, {320, 216}};
UIKeyboardCenterBeginUserInfoKey = NSPoint: {160, 588};
UIKeyboardCenterEndUserInfoKey = NSPoint: {160, 372};

}}
Am I misunderstanding the addObserver interface?  Surely there must be a way to subscribe to notifications from a particular UI control?
Has anybody got any other suggestions on how to achieve this?

A:

Couldn't get any of the above to work. Had to do it manually:
if ([companyName isFirstResponder]) {
    // ...............
}
else if ([notes isFirstResponder]) {
    //.............
    }
}
