UITextView's text going beyond bounds

Question

I have a non-scrollable UITextView with it\'s layoutManager maximumNumberOfLines set to 9, which works fine, but, I cannot seem to find a method in NSLayoutManager that rest

Answer 1

I created a test VC. It increases a line counter every time a new line is reached in the UITextView. As I understand you want to limit your text input to no more than 9 lines. I hope this answers your question.

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@property IBOutlet UITextView *myTextView;

@property CGRect previousRect;
@property int lineCounter;

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

[self.myTextView setDelegate:self];

self.previousRect = CGRectZero;
self.lineCounter = 0;
}

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView {
UITextPosition* position = textView.endOfDocument;

CGRect currentRect = [textView caretRectForPosition:position];

if (currentRect.origin.y > self.previousRect.origin.y){
    self.lineCounter++;
    if(self.lineCounter > 9) {
        NSLog(@"Reached line 10");
        // do whatever you need to here...
    }
}
self.previousRect = currentRect;

}

@end
