Question

I tried doing this:

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender 
{
   return NO;
}

but it still pops up the menu, I also want to keep the copy, I just want to remove “define”, is this possible? To clarify I don’t want to remove the ability of text selection, I just wanted to remove the “define” option in the UIMenuController

Answer 1

Are you perhaps returning YES in canPerformAction:withSender further up in the responder chain?

Note that if your class returns NO for a command, another responder further up the responder chain may still return YES, enabling the command.
