Disabled UIButton not faded or grey

Question

In my iPhone app, I have a UIButton which I have created in Interface Builder. I can successfully enable and disable it like this in my code ...

sendButton.e         


        

Answer 1

It looks like the following code works fine. But in some cases, this doesn't work.

sendButton.enabled = NO;
sendButton.alpha = 0.5;

If the above code doesn't work, please wrap it in Main Thread. so

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    sendButton.enabled = NO;
    sendButton.alpha = 0.5
});

if you go with swift, like this

DispatchQueue.main.async {
    sendButton.isEnabled = false
    sendButton.alpha = 0.5
}

In addition, if you customized UIButton, add this to the Button class.

override var isEnabled: Bool {
    didSet {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            if self.isEnabled {
                self.alpha = 1.0
            }
            else {
                self.alpha = 0.5
            }
        }
    }
}

Thank you and enjoy coding!!!
