I have a UITextField that is a subview of a UITableViewCell.

When my view loads, I want the text field to become first responder. I have a pointer to the text field in the table cell, so to do this I am trying:

[myTextField becomeFirstResponder];

This returns NO all the time, regardless of when it's called, which according to the docs means the text field refused to become first responder... What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

The text field properly responds to being touched. It bring up the keyboard then. It's only when telling it to become first responder programmatically that the problem happens.
