Become first responder without animation

Question

Is there a way for a UITextField to become first responder without the animation of the keyboard? That is, make it such that the keyboard just appears?

I'm, mot sure what iOS version do you use or at what point do you call becomeFirstResponder Calling [textFieldReference becomeFirstResponder] in viewWillAppear: for iOS5/iOS6 seems to work just the way you wanted it to:

it's being called just before view controller will show it's view (that's if you don't handle view controller hierarchy manually) and as soon as it appears in navigation controller keyboard is already presented and text field has focus.

That said, there is no public way that I heard off that would allow to specify keyboard appearance style.
