Setting TextView to Non-Editable

[nd049]

Hi Everyone,

In one of my apps I'm working on, I have a TextView that I want to be set to non-editable. In I.B. I unchecked the Editable field for it, but that didn't work. So in my ViewDidLoad I did:

        chatScreen.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Georgia" size:16];
	chatScreen.editable = NO;

Which I figured would definitely work, but it didn't again. I've looked and looked but nothing seems to be working. It is vital that it can't be edited because it is a messaging app, so I can't have the users editing each message that other users sent!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone have any ideas?

Go into IB and set the textfield as Non Editable.

I already did that and it still is editable... and I set it in the code... just doesn't make sense.

[textView setEditable:NO];

helped. Though the compiler gives a warning that UITextView may not respond to setEditable message, the textView did not switch to editable mode (and the keyboard never showed up) when i tested my code.
