Setting UITextField not editable or editable

Question

I want to know how to disable UITextField, i.e I placed a UIButton in the frame of UITextField for design purpose.

When I tap my button in UITextField the keyboard appears, but I don't want the keyboard to be displayed!

Here is my code so far:

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    return textField !=textfiled1;
    return textField !=textfiled2;
}

You can enable or disable user interaction on the textfield using this property:

textField.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

In Swift 5

textField.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
