Can I dismiss the iPhone keyboard by touching the background of DialogViewController (MonoTouch.Dialog)?

Question

I'm using DialogViewController from MonoTouch.Dialogs. I'd like to be able to dismiss the keyboard by clicking on the background of the dialog.

I usually employ the technique of filling the view with a large custom button and placing it behind all the other elements. However, I can't make this work in the DialogViewController. I did this in LoadView and it just froze all the other controls.

Is there a relatively straightforward way of achieving what I want?

Answer 1

[mytextField resignFirstResponder];

Answer 2

In view controller:

public override void TouchesBegan (NSSet touches, UIEvent evt)
    {
        base.TouchesBegan (touches, evt);

        myField.ResignFirstResponder();
    }

Edit: From what I've read, you can use the TouchesBegan event for the cell subview instead of the table itself. I'm not positive that works. Good luck :)
