How do I invalidate CADisplayLink with a UIButton?


Extreme noob. I define a CADisplayLink, then I want to invalidate it later using a UIButton. I get the error 'cannot find in scope' because (I assume) the link is initialized inside the func. Cannot figure out how to "get inside" the func to invaidate it. Code: ``` func myDisplayLink() {let displayLink = CADisplayLink(target: self, selector: #selector(myCycle)) displayLink.add(to: .current, forMode: RunLoop.Mode.default) }

@IBAction func OFF(_ sender: UIButton)
{ ????? }
```

Solution

  • You can declare it as an optional outside the scope of your function, at the root of your class then just initialize it in your function, like so:

    class: SomeClass {
    
     var displayLink: CADisplayLink?
    
     func myDisplayLink() {
      displayLink = CADisplayLink(target: self, selector: #selector(myCycle))
      displayLink!.add(to: .current, forMode: RunLoop.Mode.default) 
     }
    
     @IBAction func OFF(_ sender: UIButton) {
      displayLink!.invalidate()
     }
    
    }
