Showing UIMenuController loses keyboard

Question

I\'m making an iphone app similar to the Messages app that comes on the phone. I just set up the ability to copy messages via a UIMenuController, but if the keyboard is showing

Answer 1

In iOS 5, you can now use the table view delegate methods to show the Menu Controller:

- (BOOL) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView shouldShowMenuForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canPerformAction:(SEL)action forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath withSender:(id)sender;

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView performAction:(SEL)action forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath withSender:(id)sender;

Showing the Menu Controller in this manner will not resign the keyboard.

I'm still curious about this though as I have an app that supports pre-iOS 5 that I would like to do what you're saying also (not resign the keyboard when the copy menu appears).
