Interface rotation of an incomplete CATransition

Question

Hello all, I am applied CATRANSITION to a view and did not remove it after it completed. if I rotate the ipad/iphone, the frozen state of the view will not rotate. I reckon it is something expected. Now, my question is:

If i want it to mimic the usual interface rotation, should I apply atransform manually to the layer ? i.e

if(currentposition is normal portrait && rotation is to the right){ //Apply a transform 90degrees clockwise to the layer. }

Is that the way to go ?

Thanks.
