Jac,

No, on iOS the single line input control is just that a 'single' line
and even in xCode you can not get it to wrap. So you have to use a
multiline control and as you have found out the multiline control is
definitely a different beast altogether. They are not at all what we
are used to.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. It seems that the inputReturnKey doesn't fire in a multiline either. And besides that, I can only get one-line inputs to display as transparent and multiline to display as opaque. Setting the opaque in either case does nothing.

The docs indicate that opacity can be controlled, but nothing I've tried does it. I fiddled with the alpha setting too but that doesn't seem to work either (tried both 0 and 255 because I can never remember which way the scale goes.)

What I really want to avoid is setting up and maintaining a "Done" and "Cancel" button in a fake toolbar in a group that's a simulated window, and all that other jazz that has to be created in both retina and normal sizes, and writing all the resizing code, etc. I just need a simple field overlay where a user can jot down a note.
