How do I disable a UISwitch?

Is this possible to disable a UISwitch? I do not mean putting it in an OFF state, I mean disabling user interaction, and having it appear gray.

In my app I have two conditions 

if (condition == true) {  
  // UISwitch should be enabled  
} else {  
  // UISwitch should be visible, but disabled  
  // e.g uiswitch.enable=NO;  
}

Any suggestions?

Solution

  • This should do it:

    switch.enabled = NO;

    or equivalently:

    [switch setEnabled:NO];

    where switch is whatever your UISwitch variable name is.

    The answer above is (clearly) an Objective-C solution, written well before anyone had ever heard of Swift. The Swift equivalent solution is, of course:

    switch.isEnabled = false
