Can I remove an iPad keyboard with a keyboard?

Question

Looking at the iPad UIKeyboard, I noticed the "hide keyboard" button in the lower right corner, which I really would like to get rid of. Is this possible and possible? I'm not sure about the correct button name, so Google doesn't help me much.

Many thanks

You cannot remove the "hide keyboard" button from the standard iPad keyboard; it is not authorized by Apple.

However, there is one way to determine when the Hide Keyboard button is pressed:

- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
}
