change text of button and disable button in iOS

Question

How do you change the text of the button and disable a button in iOS?

Answer 1

SWIFT 4 with extension

set:

// set button label for all states
extension UIButton {
    public func setAllStatesTitle(_ newTitle: String){
        self.setTitle(newTitle, for: .normal)
        self.setTitle(newTitle, for: .selected)
        self.setTitle(newTitle, for: .disabled)
    }
}

and use:

yourBtn.setAllStatesTitle("btn title")

Answer 2

If somebody, who is looking for a solution in Swift, landed here, it would be:

myButton.isEnabled = false // disables
myButton.setTitle("myTitle", for: .normal) // sets text

Documentation: isEnabled, setTitle.

Older code:

myButton.enabled = false // disables
myButton.setTitle("myTitle", forState: UIControlState.Normal) // sets text
