copied!<p>What you want to do is pretty tough. There is no built-in hook to get at the cancel button.</p> <p>However, there are a couple of options if you are willing to jimmy open the hood.</p> <p>First off, UISearchBar is a UIView, and the Cancel button is also a view, which is added into the search bar as a subview, just as you would expect.</p> <p>I have experimented a little, and can tell you that when the button is onscreen it has a size of 48,30.</p> <p>So in viewWillAppear, you can do something like this:</p> <ol> <li><p>Find the cancel button view in [searchBar subviews] by looking for one with size 48,30. (There only seems to be one -- this could change...) You could be doubly careful and look for one that is in approximately the correct position (differs in landscape and portrait).</p></li> <li><p>Add a subview to the cancel button. </p></li> <li><p>The subview should be a UIControl (so that you can set enabled = NO, in order to make sure touch events get to the actual cancel button)</p></li> <li><p>It needs to have the right color and rounded corners; you will need to fudge the size for reasons I don't yet understand (55,30 seems to work)</p></li> <li><p>This will work if searchBar.showsCancelButton is always YES; if you want it to disappear when not editing the search string, you will need to find a hook to add the overlay each time the cancel button appears.</p></li> <li><p>As you can see, this is some ugly tinkering. Do it with eyes wide open.</p></li> </ol>
