Getting cursor position in a UITextView on the iPhone?

Like drewh said, you can use UITextView’s selectedRange to return the insertion point. The length of this range is always zero. The example below shows how to it.

NSString *contentsToAdd = @"some string";
NSRange cursorPosition = [tf selectedRange];
NSMutableString *tfContent = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:[tf text]];
[tfContent insertString:contentsToAdd atIndex:cursorPosition.location];
[theTextField setText:tfContent];
[tfContent release];
