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

#import "UIButton+My.h"
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
@implementation UIButton (My)


-(void)fade :(BOOL)enable{
    self.enabled=enable;//
    self.alpha=enable?1.0:0.5;
}

@end

.h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface UIButton (My)

-(void)fade :(BOOL)enable;

@end

Answer 2

In Swift:

previousCustomButton.enabled = false
previousCustomButton.alpha = 0.5

or

nextCustomButton.enabled = true
nextCustomButton.alpha = 1.0

Answer 3

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!!!

Answer 4

You can use adjustsImageWhenDisabled which is property of UIButton
(@property (nonatomic) BOOL adjustsImageWhenDisabled)

Ex:

 Button.adjustsImageWhenDisabled = false

Answer 5

just change state config to disable and choose what you want, background Image for disabled state

Answer 6

Try to set the different images for UIControlStateDisabled (disabled gray image) and UIControlStateNormal(Normal image) so the button generate the disabled state for you.
