iPhone Programming: Deactivate spell check in UITextView

Question

UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo didn\'t work for me.

I\'m working on a crossword app for the iPhone. The questions are in UITextViews and I use UITextFields for the User-

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The solution is very simple but not documented: You can only change the properties defined in the UITextInputTraits protocol while the UITextView in question is NOT the first responder. The following lines fixed it for me:

[self.textView resignFirstResponder];
self.textView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
[self.textView becomeFirstResponder];

Hope this helps somebody.
