Question

I am using this code to set the parameters of an uitextview i have on my view.

_textview=[[UITextView alloc]init];
[_textview setUserInteractionEnabled:FALSE];
_textview.text=@"Write your message";
_textview.textColor=[UIColor lightGrayColor];
_textview.layer.cornerRadius=6;
_textview.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
_textview.delegate=self;

I have in the .h this code

IBOutlet UITextView *_textview;
@property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UITextView *_textview;

I have connected the outlet to the uitextview by using the interface.

What happens is the following:

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)inTextView

the above delegate is called but not the following one:

- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string 

Why is this happening? Am i doing something wrong?

Any help appreciated…

Answer 1

In addition to removing the _textview = [[UITextView alloc]init]; so as to not overwrite your nib loaded textview.

The <UITextViewDelegate> method is:

-(BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text{}

The correct method signature is:

textView:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementText:

not:

textView:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementString:
