MFMailComposeViewController address book picker customization

Question

Is it possible to customise the behavior of how the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController is displayed modally from the MFMailComposeViewController whenever a user presses the '+' icon in the 'To:' and 'Cc/Bcc:' fields?

I want to wrap the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController inside of another view controller before it is being presented modally. How do I do this?

Answer 1

What kind of functionality are you looking to add by wrapping the PeoplePicker in another view controller?

You can display the PeoplePicker with the following code:

ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *ab = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
[ab setDisplayedProperties:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonEmailProperty]]];
[ab setPeoplePickerDelegate:self];
[self presentModalViewController:ab animated:YES];

You may need to subclass ABPeoplePickerNavigationController depending on what you need to do.
