UITableview: How to Disable Selection for Some Rows but Not Others

by

You just have to put this code into cellForRowAtIndexPath

To disable the cell’s selection property: (while tapping the cell)

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

To enable being able to select (tap) the cell: (tapping the cell)

// Default style
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue;

// Gray style
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;

Note that a cell with selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone; will still cause the UI to call didSelectRowAtIndexPath when touched by the user. To avoid this, do as suggested below and set.

cell.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

instead. Also note you may want to set cell.textLabel.enabled = NO; to gray out the item.
