how to block user from changing text field

I have two text fields that I don't want the user to change. Is there a way to do this in Xcode 6? I have already entered text in the text field but when I simulate the app the user is still able to modify it.

Return NO for above method

   optional func textField(_ textField: UITextField,
    shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange,
                replacementString string: String) -> Bool

Or set textfield disable and userInteractionDisable

textfield.userInteractionEnabled = false
textfield.enabled = false

Make category on UIView.

add following methods in that category.

-(void)disable {
    self.alpha = 0.5;
    self.userInteractionEnabled = FALSE;
}

-(void)enable {
    self.alpha = 1.0;
    self.userInteractionEnabled = TRUE;
}

then just call

yourTextField.disable();

Actually,You can use this on any view that you want.

Return 'NO' for the delegate method:

`- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField`.

or disable the textField, that may alter the appearance.

textField.enabled = NO

or use a UILabel.
