Is there a way to override UITextView UIKeyInput so can enter text from superview?

Question

I have a view TextViewHolder that has a UITextView as a subview. I'd like for TextViewHolder to implement UIKeyInput and it's three accompanying methods insertText, hasText, and deleteBackwards so that I can insert the text in my UITextView from TextViewHolder (for messy design purposes) and I'd also like to maintain the functionality of an editable UITextView (ala positioning of the cursor, copy paste, ability to add different languages). Is it possible to accomplish this without subclassing the UITextView?

Answer 1

Not possible to do unfortunately, need to subclass UITextView and override insertText and deleteBackward.
