防止UIKeyboard在UISearchBar点击上显示

Question

I have my own custom keyboard in a uiview which i'm adding to the UIWindow in certain situations.

I switch between standard UIKeyboard and my custom keyboard with a button.

Problem: when i have my custom keyboard already shown on screen and i tap the UISearchBar i get the standard UIkeyboard shown above mine. What I expect is to supress showing of Sandard UIKeyboard when i have my custom one already showing on screen.

I intercept keyboardwillshow event but it seems at this event is too late to do that.

I also tried subclassing UISearchBar and get control over its UITextField to get the Shouldbegintextediting but it doesn't seem to work ... (FYI UISearchBar doesn't have shouldbegintextediting event in the protocol. Its only for uitextfiled).

Also, there is no such thing as 'inputView' property in UISearchBar.

I tested this on iOS 5.1.

Anyone with experience on this kind of issue?

Thank you.

将搜索字段的inputView设置为自定义键盘。
