Proper way to resignFirstResponder when a UITableView is touched?

Question

Hello all,

I have a pretty simple UITableView who's cells contain UITextFields and I need to be able to call resignFirstResponder to hide the keyboard whenever a user touches the UITableView outside of one of the cells.

I have read this question/answer but it seems like a very rudimentary way to achieve this. I have read about a way to do it by converting the UITableView to a UIControl so that you can connect the TouchDown event.

Does anybody know the standard or preferred way to achieve this functionality?
