UITextViewDelegate Property in Swift

* Swift 2 + :- 

// Make current ViewController respond to UITextViewDelegate events

myTextView.delegate = self

// Update UITextView content

myTextView.text = "In this video we are going to edit UITextView from our Swift code. www.swiftdeveloperblog.com"

// Change UITextView background colour

myTextView.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellowColor()

// User RGB colour

myTextView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 39/255, green: 53/255, blue: 182/255, alpha: 1)

// Update UITextView font size and colour

myTextView.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(20)

myTextView.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

myTextView.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(20)

myTextView.font = UIFont(name: "Verdana", size: 17)

// Make UITextView Editable

myTextView.editable = true

// Capitalize all characters user types

myTextView.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationType.AllCharacters

// Make web links clickable

myTextView.selectable = true

myTextView.editable = false

myTextView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypes.Link

// Make UITextView corners rounded

myTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 10

// Enable auto-correction and Spellcheck

myTextView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionType.Yes

myTextView.spellCheckingType = UITextSpellCheckingType.Yes

// myTextView.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationType.None

// Add Tap gesture to be able to dismiss keyboard when user taps away

// You will need to declare a new function "tappedAwayFunction"

let myGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "tappedAwayFunction:")

self.view.addGestureRecognizer(myGesture)
