title: iPhone - UITextField not set to editable programmatically when using modal dialog?
body: <p>I am kinda new with iPhone development and I'm having a bit of trouble with an apparently very simple thing.</p>
  
  <pre><code>   - (IBAction) addButtonPressed:(id) sender {
  
   AddDrinkViewController *addDrinkVC = [[AddDrinkViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DrinkDetailView" bundle:nil];
   UINavigationController *addNavCon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:addDrinkVC];
  
   //the textview is not becoming editable here, even thou i'm setting the property to true.
   addDrinkVC.ingredientsTextView.editable = YES;
  
   [self presentModalViewController:addNavCon animated:YES];
  
   [addDrinkVC release];
   [addNavCon release];
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Basically, the [ + ] button is tapped on a navigation controller and a modal view appears. </p>
  
  <p>The view that appears is extended from a different view which originally has the textfields and textviews disabled from the nib itself.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to make the textviews and textfields editable when the [ + ] is tapped, but so far, I haven't had any luck.</p>
  
  <p>I know it seems like a VERY simple thing to do, but I've been looking online and haven't been able to find an answer... maybe I'm missing something very basic on the behavior of modal views?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot in advance.</p>
