   Hi all!
   I need to insert into my scene some UIKit stuff... for example I need a textfield and my code is like this:
   

   UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(348, 612 , 230, 30)];
   [[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview: textField];

   this works fine, but when I click a button I change the scene:
   

   [[CCDirector sharedDirector] replaceScene: [CCFlipXTransition transitionWithDuration:1 scene:[HelloWorld node]]];

   and this works, but the textField remain on the screen, this due that is added as subview of the view of cocos, and not as scene node...
   how can I solve this to put the UIKit objects into a scene as node, to be managed like other nodes?
   thanks

   I had this problem with a textfield on a high score entry scene, but opted in the end to simply remove the text field when that scene was released. If you need something a little more involved than a single textfield, yuo could always create a bunch of views for each scene containing the UIKit controls you want to add, and add these views to your appDelegate, or some other handy place that your scenes can get to them from. Then you can simply add / remove them to the glView when the relevant scenes are created / released.

   I think you're going to have a job doing this any easier way, as UITextFields must be added to parent UIView-based objects. The only view in use in your cocos2d app is likely to be the glView which was attached to the main window upon setup, which all your scenes are added to.

   I'd love to hear if you find a way to do it though!

   Try using my CCUIViewWrapper class:

   It will automatically remove the UIView from its superview when the wrapper object is removed from its Cocos parent.
