Hi Everyone:
When creating a new message using Mail on the iPhone, and after typing the contact, a blue "bubble" appears around the text. Is there some way I can replicate this behavior in my own application?
Thanks for any help!
A:
The way I do this and probably the easiest way is with a custom UIView. You can draw inside a clipped rounded path with a blue gradient then draw the text on top of it.
You could also take a look at the Three20 project, which has a similar control. However, it's very complicated if you're just looking for that blue bubble.

Thanks for your reply Tom! It appears as if Three20 will work great for this project (as I was aiming to duplicate the whole selection behavior), but I am running into a bit of trouble. It appears as if TTMessageController will work best for this, however I can't figure out a way to have it display correctly with -pushViewController. When I attempt to use this, the view is too small and the navigation icons don't work. I know there is another class that deals with showing these view controllers, but I prefer to use -pushViewController. Thanks for any help!

It might be worth starting a new question for this new problem as I've never looked into actually using any of the Three20 controls or views so I can't help you on this one.
