Use UILabels?

Or disable (.enabled = NO) a UITextField or UITextView.

For UITextView objects, set the editable property to FALSE.

For UITextField objects, you can use the enabled property it inherits from UIControl. (As mentioned by another poster.)

UITextView also has a popup saying "Copy Paste Select" even if editing is disabled. Subclass and override with this method to remove:

// file MyTextView.h
@interface MyTextView : UITextView
- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder;
@end


// File MyTextView.m
#import "MyTextView.h"
@implementation MyTextView
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder {
    return NO;
}
@end
