UIButton setEnabled ???

[aryaxt]

I have a custom button, and i need to disable it sometimes.
But when i disable it it changes the color and opacity, and it looks ugly.
Is there anyway to disable the button without changing the opacity?

thanks

Go to interface builder. Click on your button, and go to the inspector for it. Click on the dropdown and have disabled state highlighted. Then you can change what it will look like when disabled

You can try to set the button's alpha value.

Try this code...

[yourButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"] forState:UIControlStateDisabled];

(Tip: Use the same image.png you used for normal state)

Hope it helps!

Just a tip... Apple recently rejected our Jam Packed! game for using disabled buttons in certain parts of the User Interface. They said disabled buttons confuse the users. We had to change the game to hide buttons that are not available at certain points instead of disabling them, and then we were able to get approval.

That made the code easier (didn't need a "disabled state", just set the .hidden attribute), but it did mean a slight layout change for us. Hiding buttons was leaving the interface unbalanced, so we actually changed the whole screen.

Just thought I'd pass that on...
