Question

How can I make a UITextView scrollable but not editable programmly??

I tried this:

textmessage.enabled = NO;
textmessage.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

…but doesn’t work…

By just setting the editable property of UITextView to NO you should have its content not modifiable by the user (by the way a user could still select/copy/paste the text into it).

[myTextView setEditable:NO];

If you appear to have it not scrollable may it be the case you do not have enough text inside of it?

Or maybe you can have the UITextView’s property scrollEnabled disabled for some reason.

myTextView.scrollEnabled = YES;
