As far as the copying goes, you need to check out the UIPasteboard Class. Using that class, you can put text onto the pasteboard very easily.

For not enabling the text field, you can simply leave it disabled, but capture the touch event anyway.

For the pasteboard, try going through this tutorial.

I you are able to use UITextField class instead you could set the editable property to NO. Selecting text will still be possible.
