Why is didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation called when I create a modal view?

[Joseph Nardone]

Hi:

Is didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation supposed to be called when a modal view is created?

It seems to be in my app.

Is this documented somewhere?

Thanks,

Joseph

Is the view controller supposed to display in landscape? Views/controllers are created in portrait and then rotated as needed.

No, both views (the main and the modal) are in portrait. I was very surprised to trace my bug to the fact that didRotateFrom... was being called in the modal view controller as soon as it appeared.

I guess maybe you want to know what orientation the viewcontroller that spawned the modal view was in rather than what orientation the device is in?

Update:

does not happen in device running OS 3.0

does happen in device running OS 3.2 or OS 4.0
