Disable selection of a single UITableViewCell

Question

How do you disable selecting only a single cell in a UITableView? I have several, and I only want the last to be disabled.

Answer 1

If anyone wondering how to achieve this in swift then here is my code. I am using Xcode 7 and tested using iPad Retina(iOS 9).

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle .None
cell.userInteractionEnabled = false

Try to place this two line code whether you want. In my case I have used this in this method for displaying cells.

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)

Remember this two line code will block any kind of selection or interaction to your cells but you can only use the first line individually if you want. That is...

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle .None

Only this line will block the selection to your cells.

However the second line will make the cell "Read-Only". That is..

cell.userInteractionEnabled = false

Thanks

Hope this helped.
