Toggle autocorrectionType on and off (UITextView)

I have a UITextView for which I want to be able to toggle the autocorrectionType.

Simply toggling the autocorrectionType like this does not work.

myTextView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeYes;
myTextView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;

I've used 

myTextView.text = myTextView.text;

and 

[myTextView insertText:@" "];
[myTextView deleteBackward];

and 

[myTextView setNeedsDisplay];

None of these work...

When you change such properties (including the type of keyboard), you often have to "kick start" the process

// Original
myTextView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeYes;

... // time goes by

// Now want to change
myTextView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
BOOL bogusKeyboardMotion = YES; // ivar
[myTextView resignFirstResponder];
[myTextView becomeFirstResponder];
bogusKeyboardMotion= NO;

Then ignore any delegate messages in your delegate methods. Maybe setting the delegate to nil then setting it back works too.
