How to disable certain dates/hours in DatePicker IOS?

I was wondering if there is anyway to disable a certain day or hour in a DatePicker?

I have looked around and many people suggested "UIControlEventValueChanged", I don't think thats a good idea specially if I have to disable more than 10 hours as users will get frustrated.

Is there any other way to overcome this problem? Also I don't really know what days/hours will be disabled but I receive them from my database.

Even colouring those days a different colour would be good

The standard UIDatePicker only lets you specify a minimum and maximum date.

If you want to use a stock date picker you'd have to set up an IBAction that would move the picker to a different value after the user picked a date in the forbidden range.

Or, as rmaddy suggests, use a standard picker view and custom code, or subclass UIPickerView (e.g. create MyCustomFunkyDatePickerView) and have that custom subclass implement the rules you want, either with an array of allowed date ranges or a min, max, and an array of forbidden date ranges.
