Blue highlighting not appear with custom UITextView - ios

Question

I created a subclass of UITextView to add a custom UIMenuItem. The problem is that when I press my custom action to display custom item, the text is not highlighted. Any idea?
ActionsTextView.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#protocol ActionsDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)addDreamSignalWithText:(NSString *)text range:(NSRange)range;
#end
#interface ActionsTextView : UITextView
#pragma mark - Delegate
#property IBOutlet id<ActionsDelegate>actionsDelegate;
#pragma mark - Methods
- (void)addDreamSignalAction:(id)sender;
#end
ActionsTextView.m
#import "ActionsTextView.h"
#implementation ActionsTextView
- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder {
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {
if (action == #selector(addDreamSignalAction:)) {
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
#pragma mark - Methods
- (void)addDreamSignalAction:(id)sender {
if ([_actionsDelegate respondsToSelector:#selector(addDreamSignalWithText:range:)]) {
[_actionsDelegate addDreamSignalWithText:[self.text substringWithRange:self.selectedRange]
range:self.selectedRange];
}
// Deselect text
self.selectedTextRange = nil;
}
#end
Thanks!!

Thanks to rmaddy, I found the solution.
Here is the code:
ActionsTextView.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#protocol ActionsDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)addDreamSignalWithText:(NSString *)text range:(NSRange)range;
#end
#interface ActionsTextView : UITextView
#pragma mark - Delegate
#property IBOutlet id<ActionsDelegate>actionsDelegate;
#pragma mark - Methods
- (void)addDreamSignalAction:(id)sender;
#pragma mark - Notifications
- (void)menuControllerWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification;
#end
ActionsTextView.m
#import "ActionsTextView.h"
#implementation ActionsTextView
- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder {
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {
if (action == #selector(addDreamSignalAction:)) {
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
#pragma mark - Methods
- (void)addDreamSignalAction:(id)sender {
if ([_actionsDelegate respondsToSelector:#selector(addDreamSignalWithText:range:)]) {
[_actionsDelegate addDreamSignalWithText:[self.text substringWithRange:self.selectedRange]
range:self.selectedRange];
}
// Deselect text
self.selectedTextRange = nil;
}
#pragma mark - Notifications
- (void)menuControllerWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification {
if (self.selectedRange.length == 0) {
[self select:self];
}
}
#end
