Detect UISearchBar orientation to text field

Question

Is there a way to determine if the user clicks the search text box and the keyboard appears?

Answer 1

From docs ,

• searchBarTextDidBeginEditing:
• searchBarCancelButtonClicked:

Answer 2

If you are implementing UISearchBarDelegate, the first method to be called is:

- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {  
    //do stuff
    return YES;  
}  

Here is a link to the class:

Answer 3

searchBarTextDidBeginEditing:.
