iPhone Modal View Smaller that the screen

Question

I\'m trying to do something that shouldn\'t be that complicated, but I can\'t figure it out. I have a UIViewController displaying a UITableView. I want to present a context menu

Answer 1

Again, if you really want to do this, instead of adding a transparent "holding" view, since this pop-up is essentially modal, I would make it a subview directly of the window.

You might want to put in a transparent black shield behind it to prevent touches on the background and focus input on the popup.

But seriously, consider either popping a controller on the stack or using that alert view. Unless you've hired a $$ designer, it's probably not going to look appropriate on the iPhone.
