Disable rotation during textField editing?

is it possible to disable orientation rotating during textField editing? For example, it's possible to rotate app between portrait and landscape, but if you tap a text field in portrait, you can't rotate to landscape until your done editing? or vice versa if your in landscape?

I'm thinking if there is a way to do this, I'd be implementing it in textFieldDidBeginEditing and textFieldDidEndEditing

any help would be appreciated, thank you

Set your textField delegate to be the view controller. When the textfield lets you know it's going to edit (I believe it's something like - (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField) set an iVar to your current orientation (_orientation = self.interfaceOrientation) and set a BOOL iVar(I'd call it _editing) to YES. In the method - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation return NO if it's not the orientation of the iVar and _editing is YES.
