I subclasses UILabel to create a copiable label with this project. UILabel clipboard

This is the code it has:

- (void) copy: (id) sender
{
    NSLog(@"Copy handler, label: “%@”.", self.text);
}

- (BOOL) canPerformAction: (SEL) action withSender: (id) sender
{
return (action == @selector(copy:));
}

- (void) handleTap: (UIGestureRecognizer*) recognizer
{
    [self becomeFirstResponder];
    UIMenuController *menu = [UIMenuController sharedMenuController];
    [menu setTargetRect:self.frame inView:self.superview];
    [menu setMenuVisible:YES animated:YES];
}

- (BOOL) canBecomeFirstResponder
{
    return YES;
}

And the NSLog logs exactly the content I want to copy inside the label, however, the content is not copied to the clipboard.

Any idea?

And how to copy image?

I'm sure an image is almost identical. Look at the NSPasteboard class – Millie Smith Nov 15 '13 at 00:57
@MillieSmith - using UIKit so I think you mean `UIPasteboard` - https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIPasteboard_Class/Reference.html – Adam Jenkins Nov 15 '13 at 01:01
Yeah that's what I meant :). Thanks @Adam. – Millie Smith Nov 15 '13 at 01:15
