Disabling specific view components (When SWREvealViewController is shown)

Question

I'm using John Lluch's SWRevealViewController in my application and when the sidebar is out and the user wants to close it, the front view is constantly clicked.

What I want to do is disable the front view when the sidebar (Rear view) is shown, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. When disabling the front view (self.revealViewController.frontViewController.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;), the gesture listener and reveal button listener is also disabled, so the user cannot close the sidebar again.

So have anyone solved a problem similar to this? How can I disable specific components of my view controller? I tried looking through the object and finding the correct subviews but it's just too complex and would be ugly.

Thanks for any input on this!

Answer 1

add SWRevealViewControllerDelegate in your viewcontroller

 SWRevealViewController *revealViewController;

call the following method in view DidLoad

- (void)customSetup
{


revealViewController = self.revealViewController;
revealViewController.delegate=self;

if ( revealViewController )
{

   // revealViewController.toggleAnimationDuration = 0.75;
    [revealViewController panGestureRecognizer];
    [revealViewController tapGestureRecognizer];
   // revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;

}

}

add the following method on your settings Button/side bar button

- (IBAction)butBack_actionforMain:(id)sender {

[self hideWaitingHud];



self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.delegate = self;
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.target = self.revealViewController;
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.action = @selector(revealToggle:);
[self.revealViewController revealToggle:sender];

// Set the gesture
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:self.revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer];



}

if you want to do something in delegate method

- (void)revealController:(SWRevealViewController *)revealController didMoveToPosition:(FrontViewPosition)position
{
UIWindow *mainWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];

CGPoint windowPoint = [self.view convertPoint:self.view.bounds.origin toView:mainWindow];
NSLog(@"the window position ==%.2f",windowPoint.x);

if (windowPoint.x>0.0)
{
    // set to NO 
    //self.btnHKV.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
    revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
    self.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

}
else
{
  // set to YES 
    //self.btnHKV.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
    self.view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
    revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer.enabled = YES;



 }
