The view controller (or app delegate) should be the one to respond to the 'runPageLayout:' message, not the first responder!! Unless you've subclassed one of the UI controls (to add the aforementioned runPageLayout: method), there won't be any first responder that can receive that message, unless you use the 'forwarding and proxies' design pattern. the first responder is a control (or view); it doesn't make sense that a UI element would know anything about your custom message... unless you subclass it.
