UITextView/UITextField Disable editing

[mobes]

Hey I am new to iPhone/iPad development and have a pretty basic question.

In one of my views I have a TextView that displays a script that has to be read and a few TextFields that display who is reading the script and the section it comes from. They all auto update correctly but is there a way to disable the keyboard and not allow editing of these fields? I don't want people to have the ability to change any of this text.

any thoughts?

Do you mean?:

[textView setEditable:NO];

Yup that worked great thanks dude. Didn't work for the textfields but did for the textviews. I guess text fields are inherently editable which makes sense, will just switch them to labels. Thanks for you help and how prompt it was.

for textfields try:

[textfield setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];

Can be set in IB too

Or you could try:

[textfield setEnabled:NO];

Hey guys!

How can I enable or disable the editing of a text field (UITextField) in Interface Builder? I'm using SDK 4.

All talk about "User Interaction", but whatever I do the text field is not editable all the time (default setting?). How can I make that the keyboard come up?

I selected the following:

Interface Builder > Text Field Attributes > View > Interaction > "User Interaction Enabled" is checked

Interface Builder > Text Field Identity > Accessibility > "User Interaction Enabled" is checked

That doesn't work. I placed a new text field on the interface, but here is the same. Only the color of the font of the new text field is gray. What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Solved it!

The parent view should also have the "user interaction enabled" checked.

"User Interaction Enabled" is the right thing for choosing editable or not.
