How to disable and hide a UITextField

Question

Hi I'm new in iPhone development, how do you disable a UITextField in iPhone development? If it matters, it is a View-Based Application, and the UITextField is named abc.

Thanks

Answer 1

If you want to hide it completely:

abc.hidden = YES;

If you just want to prevent user interaction:

abc.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

Since UITextField is a subclass of UIView (and UIControl), all the UIView (and UIControl) methods (such as those I used above) are available.
