Thanks for answers

Answer 1

In the delegate method of the TextField, wich is textFieldShouldBeginEditing, add code that go from current View to another View.
Or you can use tap gasture recognizer on TextField to get the touch.
Here is the code:
create a TextFied in your IB and connect it to .h file
#interface ViewController : UIViewController<UITextFieldDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *firstTF;
And in .m file add this
#synthesize firstTF;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
firstTF.delegate= self;
}
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
secondViewController *ainfoController = [[secondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"secondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:ainfoController animated:YES];
return YES;
}

Answer 2

If you are adding the Textfield by code then,
UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, width, height)];
textField.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:textField];
and add this method
- (BOOL) textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
// you can add the code for present a new viewController here
return NO;
}
make sure you have added UITextFieldDelegate in your .h file

I really don't get in why you need this but as a developer we do firmly believe to implement all scenarios, so in your case, you can achieve the same by following the any one beneath mentioned tacts:
1) In this approach, you need to override the textfieldshouldbegin delegate and use the navigate code for moving from one screen to another and don't forget to call resignFirstResponder here.
2) While in this second approach what you can do, just overlap a custom button(with neither image nor any text) and just on his click event method write your navigation code to move another screen.
Do that stuff, you'll get what you want and in case still you find any difficulty just shout over me.
