Display a presentation using modalPresentationStyle

Question

I heard that you can make a popup look like in Mail for iPad using modalPresentationStyle. I find it difficult to understand how to use it. I looked at this post here and still could not figure out how to do this. If anyone could explain how to connect controllers to make this code very useful.

thanks

Answer 1

I think the magic spell is this:

myViewController = ..... create your new controller if needed .... myViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal; myViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet; // "self" here is a ViewController instance [self presentModalViewController:myViewController animated:YES] 

I seem to recall that in the portrait the modal captures the screen; in the landscape it will be presented in the spotlight.
