How do I disable a UIButton so it appears dimmed?

[kjmcneish]

if you have a UIButton that is using simple text as the button title, it's not enough to set the enabled property of the button to NO in order for the button to appear disabled. You also need to set it's alpha property. For example:

Code: [Select]

nextButton.enabled = NO;
nextButton.alpha = .5;
and here is how you re-enable the button:

Code: [Select]

nextButton.enabled = YES;
nextButton.alpha = 1;
All the best!
