iphone - Get dynamically created UITextField by tag

Question

I add a UITextField to a table cell dynamically in my app. I'd like to implement a "backgroundClick" method to dismiss the keyboard if the user presses outside the textfield (and outside the keyboard) but I'm unsure how to get a handle on the active keyboard in the backgroundClick method as the dynamic UITextField does not have a defined property to use.

All I know is that it is a UITextField with a particular tag. Is there some way to get a hold of it in code?

Cheers.

Answer 1

UITextField* field =  (UITextField *) [myTableCell viewWithTag: myTag];
[field resignFirstResponder];

Is that what you are seeking?

Edit to reflect comments:

Based on your comment, it's not. So, you probably want to read this other SO question.

Answer 2

If you have a reference to the UITextField, then you can send resignFirstResponder. That will dismiss the keyboard.
