1Password Style custom Action Menu

Question

Hello, I just have a quick question. In the 1Password app on the iPhone/iPad when you tap the password field it gives you a non-standard option in the context-menu. I was wondering how this could be recreated with some other non-standard options like "Copy/Email/Something else".

** This does not pertain to passwords and text masking

On the iPad, and on the iPhone running OS 4.0 or later, you can use UIMenuController class's menuItems property. If they're doing the same thing on iOS versions prior to 3.2, then it's probably a custom-built view that just looks like the usual context menu.
