UITextView disabling text selection

Question

I\'m having a hard time getting the UITextView to disable the selecting of the text.

I\'ve tried:

canCancelContentTouches = YES;

It sounds like what you actually want is a giant UILabel inside a UIScrollView, and not a UITextView.

update: if you are on newer versions of iOS UILabel now has a lines property:
