Hiding UIBUTTON swift

Question

In swift, how do I hide a UIButton?

Here's what I tried: button.enabled = false

However, that just greys out the button, not making it invisible.

Is there a way to do it in swift? If so, how?

Thanks!

enabled is different to hidden. Enabled gives the user entitlement to use the button, hidden = false means it's visible (conversely hidden = false makes it invisible) — Frankeex, Nov 27 '15 at 11:33

Umm… button.hidden = true. See UIView Class Reference.

Be sure to look at methods available in parent classes when reading the documentation for a class.

NOTE: A later version of swift enforced button.isHidden = true as the only option.

I don't know if this is related to your issue but just a tip for others:

If this is for the initial setup:

Make sure that you hide the button within the function ViewWillAppear(animated: Bool)

override func ViewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
button.hidden = true
}
