Limiting the scrollable area in UIScrollView
4 answers
What is the best way to set limits on the left/right scrolling of a UIScrollView. I would have thought this would be easy but all my attempts have been unsuccessful.
So, to be clear, I need a solution that will allow me to programmatically limit the scrolling extent whenever I need to during the use of my app. This will most often be in response to changes in the data being displayed.
Thanks,

You can control the size of contents using contentSize property of scroll view. If that is not sufficient for you (e.g. you need to limit scroll area to some arbitrary region in the middle of your contents) you can force contentOffset to be in required limit in the delegate method of your scroll view.
Basically code may look like:
- (void) scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView*)scroll{
CGPoint offset = scroll.contentOffset;
// Check if current offset is within limit and adjust if it is not
if (offset.x < minOffsetX) offset.x = minOffsetX;
if (offset.y < minOffsetY) offset.y = minOffsetY;
if (offset.x > maxOffsetX) offset.x = maxOffsetX;
if (offset.y > maxOffsetY) offset.y = maxOffsetY;
// Set offset to adjusted value
scroll.contentOffset = offset;
}
All you would need to do is change the content size for the scroll view with the following code.
[scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(width, height)];
I went with my approach of placing pan constraints in my overloaded layoutSubviews method.
Pseudo-code:
Calculate criteria for constraining pan
if (pan-constraint-is-met) {
Calculate pan-limit
[self setContentOffset:limitedContentOffset];
}
