I'm trying to hide the iPad keyboard from a modal view controller but it doesn't work. I have tried resignFirstResponder but that doesn't have any affect if we are in a modal view controller. I tried resignFirstResponder in a non-modal UINavigationController with the very same UIViewController and the keyboard hides correctly.

Does anyone know how solve this problem?

Thanks.

[Update] it looks like there's something wrong with my code because the resignFirstResponder does work (I made a simple test case instead of using my code). But I still don't know what the problem is.

Apparently, there is a new -[UIViewController disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal] method that you may override to solve this problem in iOS 4.3.
