Question

I have to disable Paste option when user long press on UITextField.I have got this code but still it is not hiding Paste option.

-(BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)act         


        

Answer 1

Use this

@implementation UITextFiels (DisableCopyPaste)

- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder
{
    return NO;
}

@end

Answer 2

As already said in comments.. you need to "include the exact same code in a subclass of UITextField and then use instances of that class"

so.. create new file .. let's say TestPaste.. subclass of UITextField

put your code in implementation file (TextPaste.m)

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

    if ( [UIMenuController sharedMenuController] )
    {
        [UIMenuController sharedMenuController].menuVisible = NO;

    }
    return NO;  
}

now. go to your NIB/Storyboard, click on your UITextFiled and change the textview class to your TextPaste

Piya just check this below link :-

You can also check this code :-

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender
{
    if (action == @selector(paste:))
        return NO;
    return [super canPerformAction:action withSender:sender];
}

Answer 4

You have to create a new Class-> subclass of UITextField .. then in your code/xib change the textview class to your Custom Class.. and the add the method in your custom TextField class

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender
{
    if (action == @selector(paste:))
        return NO;
    return [super canPerformAction:action withSender:sender];
}

It will work then
