# selectionContainerViewAboveText

An optional view you supply to draw text selection above the text.

## Declaration

```swift
optional var selectionContainerViewAboveText: UIView? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is nil. If you supply a view to this property, the framework layers the supplied view above textInputView to render text selection above the text, and includes text-selection handles in the rendering. If you implement text selection using a textInputView subview instead, leave the value nil.
