UITableView long press menu - where is it coming from?

Question

When I long press on a row in my UITableView (presented as a popover on iPad, FWIW) I see the "Copy" menu item appear. I don't have any UIGestureRecognizer attached to the table or the cell. The cell has a UILabel and a UIImageView.

Any guesses on where this menu item is coming from? Is this some kind of default on all UILabelViews, and if so how can I disable it?

Those are typically delivered by a UITableViewDelegate returning `YES` for `tableView:shouldShowMenuForRowAtIndexPath:`. Do you have that in your source or in a parent class of the delegate? — Brian Nickel, Apr 19 '13 at 18:18

In function - (BOOL) canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender

do

if ( action == @selector( copy: ) )
    {
        // turn off copy: if you like:
        return NO;
    }

It will resolve your problem.
