Several problems with UITableView & embedded UITextView

[Knuckles]

Hello all!

I have several problems with a UITextView object embedded in a UITableViewCell.

How should I do to detect that the user has touched outside my UITextView to hide the keyboard when the user edits it?

Also, when user types his message and enters multiple line, the textview scrolls and hide the previous lines (but my textview has a correct size). How can I do to disable this type of scrolling?

Thank you in advance!

Subclass UITableViewCell and overright following method.

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;

On touch, detect the current location and validate it against the UITextView's frame (i.e whether it lies inside the frame or not). Call following statement to hide the keyboard.

[myTextView resignFirstResponder];

You will have to specify number of lines as follows.

myTextView.numberOfLines = 2; //

The scrolling will be done automatically if the number of lines will be more than 2 and yes, it depends on the height of the texview also.

Okay I will subclass UITableViewCell and use the above method.

UITextView doesn't have numberOfLines property, it's not a UILabel, that's my problem.

Yes, you are correct. Got confused about the numberOfLines method. My fault.

Any solution to my problem? I just want to regulate the automatic scrolling.

Hi,

I had the same problem. Subclass UITextView and override setContentOffset:animated. That worked for me.

Thanks guys, I was finally able to get this working by using sensible tableview (http://www.sensiblecocoa.com)
