So you should be able, if you wanted, to implement your own selector in the UIViewController subclass which has the signature of an action message and call it with that UIApplication method and the responder chain will find it for you. My bug requesting that the current firstResponder be made available as a property on UIApplication remains duped and open after 3 years. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
