I have an iOS app (9.3.5) which has an UITextView where the following is done 
often:

User long presses first word
(User clicks “Select” - only needed if Keyboard is visible)
User clicks “Define”
→  the definition of the first word is displayed (e.g. in Oxford Dictionary of 
English).

I want to add a button, called “Show Definition of First Word” which does all 
these steps.
Selecting the first word is no problem.

But how to simulate the click on “Define” in the action method of my new 
button? I cannot find anything in UITextView or UITextViewDelegate.

In macOS I would use [NSView showDefinitionForAttributedString:atPoint: ].
But I could find no such thing in UIView.

Where to look for this?


Gerriet.
