Hide UIMenuController using UIMenuControllerWillShowMenuNotification

Question

Hi,

I have a UITextView(not editable). When user tries to select text I want to hide the Select | Select All menu.

Is there a way by which I can hide using the Global notification UIMenuControllerWillShowMenuNotification, or is there any other way by which I can hide and Select | Select All menu?

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

I would simply style a UILabel to look the way you want.

If the user can't edit the text view, why are you using it instead of a label?

Answer 2

Did you try overriding (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender of UIResponder? That controls what menu options are shown in the menu.
