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

UIMenuController doesn't have a view. I just searched some code from apple's iPhone Application Programming Guide: Event Handling:

Listing 3-4 Displaying the editing menu

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    UITouch *theTouch = [touches anyObject];

    if ([theTouch tapCount] == 2  && [self becomeFirstResponder]) {

        // selection management code goes here...

        // bring up editing menu.
        UIMenuController *theMenu = [UIMenuController sharedMenuController];
        CGRect selectionRect = CGRectMake(currentSelection.x, currentSelection.y, SIDE, SIDE);
        [theMenu setTargetRect:selectionRect inView:self];
        [theMenu setMenuVisible:YES animated:YES];
    }
}
