How to get UIMenuController work for a custom view?

Question

I\'m trying to get the following code work:

UIMenuController * menu = [UIMenuController sharedMenuController];
[menu setTargetRect: CGRectMake(100, 100, 100,         


        

Answer 1

// MyView.h

@interface MyView : UIView {
    IBOutlet UITextField * textField_;
}

@end

// MyView.m

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
    NSLog(@"show menu");

    [textField_ becomeFirstResponder];
    // [self.window becomeFirstResponder];

    UIMenuController * menu = [UIMenuController sharedMenuController];
    [menu setTargetRect: CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 10) inView: self];
    [menu setMenuVisible: YES animated: YES];

    NSLog(@"menu width %f, visible %d", menu.menuFrame.size.width, menu.menuVisible);
}

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender{
    return YES;
}

You need to add more code in canPerformAction:withSender: - it should check the pasteboard and your selection state. Apple's iPhone Application Programming Guide provide several code snippets.
