How to disable scrolling entirely in a WKWebView?

Question

I know this looks like a simple question one can simply say:

webview.scrollView.scrollEnabled = NO; webview.scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO; webview.scrollView.bounces = NO; 

or even

for (UIView* subview in webview.subviews) {   if ([subview respondsToSelector:@selector(setScrollEnabled:)]) {       [(id)subview setScrollEnabled:enabled];   }    if ([subview respondsToSelector:@selector(panGestureRecognizer)]) {       [[(id)subview panGestureRecognizer] setEnabled:enabled];   } } 

but while it does prevent scolling (in the contentOffset meaning) inside the WKWebviewit doesn't prevent it from receiving pan gesture events involving scrolling.

So articles like those of the Huffington Post, which have javascript included to automatically change articles when the user scrolls left or right still get that behavior.

How can I prevent this ?

Answer 1

Before Swift 3

You can simply disable scroll on its implicit scrollView

webView.scrollView.scrollEnabled = false 

Swift 3

webView.scrollView.isScrollEnabled = false
