Question

I have to disable Paste option when user long press on UITextField.I have got this code but still it is not hiding Paste option.

-(BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {

    if ( [UIMenuController sharedMenuController] )
    {
        [UIMenuController sharedMenuController].menuVisible = NO;

    }
    return NO;  
}

Can any one help me?

As already said in comments.. you need to “include the exact same code in a subclass of UITextField and then use instances of that class”

so.. create new file .. let’s say TestPaste.. subclass of UITextField

put your code in implementation file (TextPaste.m)

-(BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {

    if ( [UIMenuController sharedMenuController] )
    {
        [UIMenuController sharedMenuController].menuVisible = NO;

    }
    return NO;  
}

now. go to your NIB/Storyboard, click on your UITextFiled and change the textview class to your TextPaste
