Is there a way to make the UIPickerView read-only? This means that the user cannot flip through the options.

PS. This is not the same as not passing anything in the didSelectRow method because I only want the user to see that the picker is there and not to touch it.

  • For the Swift version, see [How to disable UIPickerView (Swift)?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/41796806/2745495). – Gino Mempin Aug 08 '20 at 02:01

Set the picker's userInteractionEnabled to NO.

Use this to make it not interactable 

[pickerObj setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];

and this to

[pickerObj setAlpha:.6];

fade the opacity so it looks non-interactable

If you are using a UIPickerView associated with a UITextField, just set the text field's isEnabled property to false.
