UITextView - disable vertical scrolling

Question

How can I disable vertical scrolling in my UITextView? I want it to basically just scroll horizontally.

If you have your custom textView subclass, you can override -gestureRecognizerShouldBegin to disable the scroll.

-(BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
    if ([gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UIPanGestureRecognizer class]])
    {
        if (gestureRecognizer.view == self)
        {
            return NO;
        }
        else
        {
            return [super gestureRecognizerShouldBegin: gestureRecognizer];
        }
    }
}
