Question

Similar to this question I have a custom subclass of UITableViewCell that has a UITextField. Its working fine except the keyboard for doesn\'t go away when the user touches

I think you're on the right track, but touchesBegan:withEvent: is a UIResponder method, so you'd actually have to override it in a UIView subclass rather than in your UIViewController subclass. Your options are:

• If you're already subclassing UITableViewCell, override touchesBegan:withEvent: there.
• If you're using a standard UITableViewCell, implement tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath in your UITableView's delegate.
