How to hide some of the years in UIDatePicker in Swift?

Question

I need to restrict the years in UIDatePicker, i.e set year is hidden if the year is more than our maximum date.

For this I already tried like myDatePicker.maximumDate=NSDate()

My date picker like UIDatePickerView

Now how can I remove or hide the year values more than(i.e 2016) our maximum date.

Thankyou

If it is set as the maximum date, users won't be able to scroll beyond that (it will just go back to the maximum date). This is the behaviour of the UIDatePicker. Why do you need to hide the dates beyond that? — William GP, May 26 '16 at 09:54
@WilliamGP thank you for immediate reply. Suppose with out hiding the year values beyond maximum date then user try scroll year component that's why I want to show year component upto maximum date only. — WeCan, May 26 '16 at 10:04
Yes, but it will just automatically scroll back to the maximum date. — William GP, May 26 '16 at 10:04
@WilliamGP thank you for your reply again. Automatically scroll back to the maximum date is working fine for me this is not my problem. I need to hide the beyond the dates(i.e minimum date and maximum date) — WeCan, May 26 '16 at 10:12
If that is really what you want - I think you have to build a custom picker yourself using UIPickerView. Per iOS docs, " You cannot customise the appearance of Date Pickers" - https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/UIKitUICatalog/UIDatePicker.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012857-UIDatePicker-SW3 — William GP, May 26 '16 at 10:34

you need to set validation on picker. so set the maximum date and minimum date of picker. ////

 self.datePicker.minimumDate = minDate;
    self.datePicker.maximumDate = maxDate;
