Displays the recipient list as iPhone messages

Question

I am trying to create a composer view of a message in iOS that includes a list of recipients, as in the built-in message application for iPhone:

It looks the same as UITextView, but when you enter names or numbers, it tries to match the data from the address book, and after matching, the entered text will change to the name in the address book and have a light-rectangular background.

I checked weiSMS , but I'm afraid the source code is too old to build for iOS 4/5, just wondering if there are any framework / components that I can reuse, or any other resources that I can find out how to do it from scratch. Please kindly show me some pointers and thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Of course! Why, just today, I found this control on CocoaControls.com. It's rude, yes, but I'm sure with a little tweaking, you can get rid of this nasty blue background by default for tokens.
