Is there a way to bring up the keyboard when I click on a cell in a UITableView?
I tried to find some way to connect one of the outlets of a cell to a declared IBAction but that doesn’t seem to work.
Thanks!

Yes, there is a way to do it but its somewhat complex:
you put a UITextField in your cell, but position it out of view
when you want the keyboard to appear, to edit some other UITextField in the cell, you make the UITextField that is in the cell offscreen the firstResponder
now the tricky part – as the delegate messages start flowing – you essentially set the UITextField you WANT to have edited the first responder
you get a flurry of delegate messages while this happens, so you need to do some work
In the end, the UITextField you want to get edited is the first responder. So, you can do what you want, but you have to spend some time working it all out.
