iPhone: Possible to dismiss keyboard with UITextField clear button?

Question

I'm wondering if there is a way to have the UITextField clear button 'always visible'

textfield.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;

doesn't seem to work .. and if it is possible to dismiss the keyboard using the button?

Thanks in advance.

Like mentioned before it seems apple is setting the textfield focus after you clear the field.

The solution is quite simple. Just clear the field yourself, resignFirstResponder and return NO

    -(BOOL)textFieldShouldClear:(UITextField *)textField
    {
        textField.text = @"";
        [textField resignFirstResponder];

        return NO;
    }
