That is an EXTREMELY fragile approach. Chunk mentioned the
international keyboard issue, but there's also the issue of software
updates. Keyboards are subject to change with new releases. You should
never overlay views on top of the built-in keyboard. If you really
want custom stuff, write your own keyboard.

you can customize the phone pad, or any of the UIKeyboards by creating
and drawing your own buttons/views over them. it's a hack, but it can
work quite nicely if you're interested in some minimal customization
(for example: changing the "Go" or "Done" button to display "Login"
or "Save"). best results will require some photoshop skill. keep in
mind that some buttons change shape and position depending on which
international keyboard settings the user chooses.
here's a tutorial to get you started:

if you really want to customize everything from top to bottom, i
suggest you roll your own keyboard.
good luck!

Sorry for my last mail ... It got sent while I was typing !
Hi All,
I am looking for a way to customize the Phonepad provided by the
iPhone
for
my application use. Here is the list I am interested in :
- Want to show it at the middle of the screen.
- Want to change caption of the button to "Call".
- Want to change the color/size of the Phonepad.
- Also want to customize the keys which will be available to the
users
(hide
special characters other than '+' & '#').
Can anyone give me some pointers on this. Any help on this is highly
appreciated.
Cheers !
-Dan
