Question

I have a relatively complicated app. I want to display a view over the entire app, regardless of orientation. How can I do this?

Thanks you!

You could create a second window in -applicationDidFinishLaunching.

UIWindow *secondWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
secondWindow.windowLevel = (UIWindowLevelAlert + 1000.0);
secondWindow.backgroundColor = [[UIColor redColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5];
secondWindow.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
[secondWindow makeKeyAndVisible];

This works fine for me. I do, however, not work with IB. Dunno if it works well with Interface Builder.
