Text scrolls outside of the UITextView box boundary

Question

I have a UITextView that has some text in it. The problem is that the text scrolls outside of the boundaries of the UITextView box. (The UITextView is uneditable.)

here's the code and what I have tried to resolve this issue:

  - (void)viewDidLoad {

        textBG.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;

    //  textBG.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
        textBG.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0;
        textBG.layer.borderWidth = 0.0;
        [textBG setClipsToBounds:YES];

    [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView*)textView
{

textBG.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;    
 [textBG setClipsToBounds:YES];   
}

- (void) shouldChangeTextInRange:(UITextView*)textView {

    textBG.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;    
    [textBG setClipsToBounds:YES];

}

thanks for any help

Answer 1

Just put this one line code to solve problem.

yourTextView.clipsToBounds = true

Answer 2

I faced this same problem, so I track down the source ... this is because of while adding shadow somehow you disturbed it's masksToBounds property. Therefore, while adding more text it got overflowed. Simple solution which I found is to write this simple line after adding shadow.

[self.myTextView setClipsToBounds:YES];

usually should be in viewDidLoad method, but remember to write this line only after applying shadow.

Thanks for reading this.

Try to change in XIB for your TextView like below:

Answer 4

write this in textView delegate methods like textViewDidBeginEditing

textBG.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;

in viewDidload

[textBG setClipsToBounds:YES];
