You can subclass UITextField and override the below method to disable whichever action you want :

-(BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender 
{
    if (action == @selector(paste:))
    {
        return NO;
    }
    else if (action == @selector(cut:))
    {
        return NO; 
    }
    else if (action == @selector(copy:))
    {
        return NO;
    }
     ... //etc etc

    return [super canPerformAction:action withSender:sender];
}

and display your own using the following code:

UIMenuController *menu = [UIMenuController sharedMenuController];
[menu setTargetRect:textField.frame inView:textField.superview];
[menu setMenuItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                            [[UIMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Test" action:@selector(test)],
                            nil]];
[menu setMenuVisible:YES animated:YES];

and in the canPeformAction:withSender: method you can return YES for the selector Test.
