iOS Popup Menus?
How do you create the popup (and scrollable) contextual style menus that are in Safari's when you click the Bookmark / History button? I can't find a prebuilt class in the UIKit that uses that specific behavior, and find it amazing that there isn't one available. At this point, I am guessing that I can create one with a custom UIView and floating that on top of the main menu that uses a UITableView for the menu items. But there are a number of basic issues that I am not sure how to approach, such as the fact that clicking outside the menu would close the menu. (Do I push a full window sized transparent UIView with the menu as a subview of that and handle clicks that way?) Does anyone have code that already does this? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

How about a UITableViewController that's presented modally using -presentModalViewController:animated:?
