Re: How to get tapped text from UITextView

Alex, I can draw the text using NSString's drawing method. But I am not clear how to get the tapped String using touch point or GCRect. I don't any direct method to get the String by passing CGPoint or CGRect. I was able to successfully implement this feature by creating CATextLayer for

Crash setting NSManagedObject attributes

I added a couple of Int 32 attributes to an otherwise-working NSManagedObject. The object has a custom NSManagedObject subclass. The properties are named "sequence" and "type." I can read them without problem, but setting them causes an EXEC_BAD_ACCESS. Doesn't matter which one I attempt to set
