How can I disable the IIViewDeck functionality momentarily?

Question

What it is: https://github.com/ViewDeck/ViewDeck

At certain times in my app I need to disable the menu slide-out functionality. I can't disable user interaction because then the main screen is unusable. How can I keep the menu from opening until I'm ready for the functionality to be available?

Answer 1

Disable the menu's opening ability with

_deckController.panningMode = IIViewDeckNoPanning;

and re-enable it with

_deckController.panningMode = IIViewDeckDelegatePanning;

This helped: UIViewController ignore left/right slide movement
