Trouble with UITextField (noob question)

[Johanovski]

Hi there!

I'm really new with iPhone development and I'm developing an OpenGL based game since two months. Everything works fine cause I'm working with plain code (what I'm used to) but now I have to interact with Interface Builder, and I don't know how it exactly works.

I've created a UITextField which shows just at the beginning of my app (it shouldn't show here, but I'll take care of that later) and I want players to put there it's name. When the UITextField is clicked the keyboard opens as I expected and you can write on it, but seems that the "return" button doesn't do anything (so the keyboard doesn't hides once it's opened). How can I solve this?

And, for giving me an initial point to start working with it, what I have to do with elements created with the Interface Builder? Where are they stored? May I declare it somewhere? Can I refer it in code (for example in the "EAGLView.m" class?) I've searched over the net but I've found only tutorials that tells how to create some elements with a plain project, and doesn't explain much things...

Thanks in advance!

For the hiding of the keyboard, search for forums here for 'resignfirstResponder'

Hi,
it's explained in the "Your iPhone first application"
