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;

If you just want to prevent it from being edited, then set the UITextView's "editable" property to NO/False.

If you're trying to leave it editable but not selectable, that's going to be tricky. You might need to create a hidden textview that the user can type into and then have UITextView observe that hidden textview and populate itself with the textview's text.
