Disable text selection UITextView

Question

I want to disable text selection on a UITextView. Until now what i\'ve already done is:

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {

If you want to disable cut/copy/paste on all UITextView of your application you can use a category with :

@implementation UITextView (DisableCopyPaste)

- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder
{
    return NO;
}

@end

It saves a subclassing... :-)

Otherwise, just subclass UITextViewand put :

- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder
{
    return NO;
}
