iOS Popover UI Element

Question

I am planning to create UI Popver element with a text entry and buttons similar to http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/enter-password.png

Clicking elsewhere on the screen should not dismiss the popover and only the cancel or save button should dismiss the popover.

Does the iPad password setup screen use UIPopoverController ? How do I enforce the popover from being dismissed ONLY from a cancel button in the pop up ?

Is that not a view controller presented modally – jrtc27 Apr 17 '12 at 21:57 — jrtc27, Apr 17 '12 at 21:57

That is indeed a UIPopover. On iOS versions prior to 3.2, UIPopover contains a property called passThroughViews. Pass an NSArray with self.view as the sole object to that method and your popover will not dismiss when the view is tapped.

Yes, you can by using popoverView's delegate:

-(BOOL)popoverControllerShouldDismiss:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController
{
    if ([save or cancel button is tapped]) {
        return YES;
    }
    return NO;
}
