Question

Is there any way to disable the “selectibility” of a UITableView row?

Example: I would like to make an appointment for a haircut at a certain time with a certain stylist. What gets displayed to a user is a list of times in half hour increments, but unavailable times are grayed out/unselectable.

Answer 1

Yes, set the selectionStyle for any cells that shouldn’t be selectable to UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone.

Make sure to also set the cell’s that should be selectable to UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue if you’re using a reuseIdentifier on the cells.

You also need to override didSelectRowAtIndexPath so that cells with a UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone style are ignored.
