Question

I have a UITextView, the size of which is set through setFrame:CGRectMake(30, 100, 273, 140).

I would like to prevent inserting text that exceeds the size of the TextView.

So I’ve tried :

- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text {
if ((textView.contentOffset.y + textView.frame.size.height) < textView.contentSize.height){
    return NO;
}
else {
    return YES;
}
return YES;
} 

The pb is that when the condition is met, I can’t use backspace to erase the extra text. The textview is no longer editable. What am I doing wrong here ?

Thanks for your help.

Ok, I think I’ve found out by myself this time.

I don’t know if it is the best solution but it works fine at least.

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)uiViewContent{
if ((uiViewContent.contentOffset.y + uiViewContent.frame.size.height) < self.entryTextField2.contentSize.height){
self.entryTextField2.text=[self.entryTextField2.text substringToIndex:[self.entryTextField2.text length] - 1];
 }
}

Hope it may help someone…
