@NicolasManzini If you carefully read my post, What i Wrote. This not worked for me.??? — Mitesh Khatri, Jun 17 '12 at 03:25
sorry you're right. By the way i think the best you can do is use a uiwebview as I did. You'll get easier way to interecept click and you can cusomize link colors — Nicolas Manzini, Jun 17 '12 at 08:45

the other answer works as expected.

create New File, select Objective-C Class

Class: MyApplication
Subclass of: UIApplication

paste this code in the .m file:

- (BOOL)openURL:(NSURL *)url {
    if  ([self handleOpenURL:url])
        return YES;
    else
        return [super openURL:url];
}
- (BOOL)handleOpenURL:(NSURL*)url {
    NSLog(@"my url handler");
    return YES;
}

next open your main.m and change the third parameter

return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([SampleAppDelegate class]));

to your UIApplication-subclass name

return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, @"MyApplication", NSStringFromClass([SampleAppDelegate class]));

I already try this. But when I changed the main.m file then it displaying error and application not compiled. – Mitesh Khatri Jun 17 '12 at 16:57
I have it tried myself before posting and ensured it is working. How did you named your custom `UIApplication` subclass? … what is the error saying? – Jun 17 '12 at 16:59

Thanks for reply. But actually MSTextView is not a TextView. Its type of UIVIEW. I have already added textview in my application so now i do not want to replace all text view with MSTEXTVIEW. – Mitesh Khatri Jun 08 '12 at 09:09
Ok, so what's your problem with the first solution you've posted? – Mat Jun 08 '12 at 09:27
I added this in my main.m file but its not working.. NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, @"MyApplication", nil); openlink method is not called. [pool release]; return retVal; – Mitesh Khatri Jun 08 '12 at 10:04

Assuming you just need to display a static label with links, we have a fairly powerful attributed label in Nimbus that you may wish to check out:

http://docs.nimbuskit.info/group___nimbus_attributed_label.html

The label uses CoreText and NSAttributedString, so it is built on core Apple technologies. It acts in every way like a UILabel. Here's an example of implementing the NIAttributedLabel delegate:

https://github.com/jverkoey/nimbus/blob/master/examples/attributedlabel/BasicAttributedLabel/BasicAttributedLabel/src/MashupViewController.m#L92

More info: http://nimbuskit.info/

Sorry. I do not need label. I need uitextview. Bcoz i already completed application so now its not possible to change on all places. — Mitesh Khatri, Jun 17 '12 at 16:59
