But surely the real problem is that you're doing something you're not supposed to do. A text field already gives a meaning to a long press (selection), and now you're trying to disrupt that. I recommend you show a menu item instead, which the user can tap to show the list. Or some other alternate interface. *Use* the framework (by letting the framework use you) - don't fight it. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.apeth.net/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
