I'm trying to make a inputAccessoryView AND the keyboard modal for VoiceOver users so they don't get lost. Setting:
view.accessibilityViewIsModal = YES;
textField.inputAccessoryView = view;
Makes the view modal with keyboard visible but unusable - it is outside of the modal view.
Next I tried this after the keyboard has appeared:
textField.inputAccessoryView.superview.accessibilityViewIsModal = YES;
Which seems a bit out of bounds but almost worked - but the keys physical after B (N, M space, etc) were not navigable.
Next up was this:
textField.inputAccessoryView.superview.superview.accessibilityViewIsModal = YES;
and everything works just fine. That view, BTW logs as follows:
<UITextEffectsWindow: 0x17170290; frame = (0 0; 320 568); opaque = NO; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x17170710>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x17170430>>
My question is this: I this a stupid thing to do? Seems like it. Is it legal? UITextEffectsWindow is private, but I'm not actually using it, just taking advantage of the fact that it's a view.
Any input or ways to work around the problem would help.
