How to disable UITextField editing but still accept touch?

Question

I\'m making a UITextField that has a UIPickerView as inputView. Its all good, except that I can edit by copy, paste, cut and select te

Answer 1

It would be more elegant to create a custom subclass of UITextField that returns NO for all calls to canPerformAction:withSender: (or at least where action is @selector(cut) or @selector(paste)), as described here.

In addition, I'd also implement - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string as per Nick's suggestion in order to disable inputting text from Bluetooth keyboards.
