My program has a UITextView and I enter and scroll the text manually: [myTextView scrollRangeToVisible:NSMakeRange([myTextView.text length]-1, 1)]; The text will disappear after a certain amount of input (if text length > 200) However, when I output the content via NSLog, the text content is still valid and being updated every time I e...
I'm trying to get a UITextView (NOT a UITextField) to act as a password field where the text is obfuscated as you type into it. However, setting this property to YES on a UITextView seems to have no effect and the letters are always visible instead of only being visible if it's the last letter typed and a dot otherwise. Has anyone else...

Hello all! I have a problem, I can't solve properly. In short: I want to create a single view (say: UIImageView) out of multiple subviews - i.e. it consists out of multiple ImageViews and TextViews. The thing is, I want to sort of 'render' them to be a single View. Say, I take an image, add some description below, add a title above,...
I'm trying to get a string displayed in my UITextView the moment the app is launched. I have a UIView and (obviously) a UITextView in my interface, and one outlet, myText, which is connected to the UITextView. It doesn't seem to be working and I can't say why.... Here is the code in question: MainView.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #impo...

Hello all, I'm looking to customise the behaviour of a UITextView quite dramatically - adding in regex-based highlighting, line numbers and find and replace - as I essentially want to create a text editor on the iPhone/iPad. I've been looking through the UITextView reference but it seems to be very restricted, not very customisable at ...

Hi All I really want to be able to detect a paste event in a UITextView, however it appears this cannot be done. I originally tried subclassing a UITextView and overriding the paste: method, but it never gets called on a paste event. Has anyone been able to do this? A previous question on the same ilk didn't have an answer back in Aug...
I'm adding some UITextFields, UITextViews and UIImageViews as subviews to a UITableCell. When I'm entering some text to the TextFields or TextViews and scroll the table up or down, I get some drawing issues. The text of every second field overlaps other fields like this: I'm creating the form elements like this: self.formFields =...
I have a simple application with a "big" text in a "little" UITextView included in an UIImageView. I can't scroll into my text, and i don't understand why ? If there isn't UIImageView, scrolling works. - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { UIImage *backImg ...
I am having a terrible time trying to get an input box like the one in the SMS app. Can anyone offer some guidance on how to build one of these and make it look good? I need an input box that is shaped nicely like the UITextfield but will stretch vertically when typing. I assume that I need to calculate width of the text and stretch ...
SO, I have a tableview with 20 cells each with a text title, a subtitle label and a textfield (with a button to give it a nice background), but I find that after scrolling the tableview a few times it starts to slow down in the simulator. I figure this is a memory leak, but I thought I'd already released everything that I needed. Any c...

Hi, I'm trying to save the contents of an UITextView into a NSString which I will somehow persist later. The problem is that the UITextView "text" property doesn't save all the rows in the textView (after touching "return"). I tried print the TextView object and the textView.text, and they're different. Does anybody know how (after edi...
Hello all, I need to grab an UIImage from a UITextView or UILabel. I've got a method that will pull an image successfully from other types of views ( [UIViewController view], MKMapView, UIButtons) but I am just getting a white rect for my UITextView.
