Answer 1

You need to change your ViewController's view property from UIView to UIControl using the Identity Inspector:

From there, you simply create an IBAction and tell the textfield to dismiss (which I am assuming is your mainTextController). If mainTextController is not the textfield you want the keyboard to dismiss on then change the resignFirstReaponder method to your textfield like so.

- (IBAction)backgroundTap:(id)sender {
[myTextField resignFirstResponder];
}

then from there go back into your View Contoller's .xib file and connect the action to the Control View and select "Touch Down".
