disable the UIview elements from another view in ios

I am trying to disable the user interaction to the view from one view. Below is my code.

DashboardViewControler.m

  if([selectedTitle isEqual:@"VIEW"])
  {
     LatLongViewController * latview =[[LatLongViewController alloc]init];
     latview.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;  
     [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"SWRevealViewController" sender:self];
  }

In the latview, I have UITextField and UILabel. I want to disable the user interaction while above scenario matches. Any help will be appreciated.

Assuming your UIViewController owns the concerned views as properties:

yourTextfield.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

A beginners guide how to connect an view IBOutlet from Storyboard can be found here.

To disable user interaction for all subviews, iterate over them:

for (UIView *view in [self.view subviews]) {
    view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
}

latview.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

You can't do it with IBOutlet. All IBOutlet are operated by ViewController. Here is my solution:

-Create new BOOL in LatLongViewController.h file: 

@property BOOL editMode;

-In DashboardViewControler.m

  if([selectedTitle isEqual:@"VIEW"])
  {
     LatLongViewController * latview =[[LatLongViewController alloc]init];
     latview.editMode = NO;
     [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"SWRevealViewController" sender:self];
  }

-In LatLongViewController.m

    - (void)viewDidLoad {
       if(_editMode == NO){
          view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
       }
    }

I think you should use textfield.enable = NO; if u have only one UITextField in this view.
