Disabling user input for UITextfield in swift

Question

pretty trivial question, I know. But I can not find anything online.

I need to disable the user from being able to edit the text inside of a text field. So that when the click on the text, a keyboard doesn't show up.

Any ideas?

A programmatic solution or if it is possible through storyboards would be great.

Answer 1

you can use UILabel instead if you don't want the user to be able to modify anything in your UITextField

A programmatic solution would be to use enabled property:

yourTextField.enabled = false

A way to do it in a storyboard:

Uncheck the Enabled checkbox in the properties of your UITextField
