Dismiss modal view form sheet controller on outside tap

Question

I am presenting a modal view controller as a form sheet and dismissing it when the cancel button, which is a bar button item, is clicked. I need to dismiss it when I tap on

Answer 1

Ah ok. So I'm afraid thats not quite possible using the presentModalViewController: method. The whole idea of a "modal" view/window/message box/etc. pp. is that the user cannot do anything else than processing whatever the view/window/message box/etc. pp. wants him/her to do.

What you want to do instead is not present a modal view controller, but rather load and show your form view controller the regular way. Note in your master controller that the form is just showing e.g. with a BOOL variable and then handle there any taps that might occur. If your form is showing, dismiss it.
