I want my textfield to look greyed out when the user flips the switch to off. I set the textfield.enable=0 when the switch is off, but that just prevents the user from editing the field, but it doesn't look greyed out. Do I need to just change the color of the field when the switch is flipped to off, or is there an automated way to make it look greyed out?
Got a tip for us?

Maybe put a UILabel over it with a dark grey background color and a mid to low alpha setting. Hide it when the text field is enable, and show it when it is disabled. It should give you a grayed out look, it probably isn't the best way to do it, but it would work.
Thanks Jeremy. You gave me an idea. I just did a TextField.alpha=0.3 when the switch is turned off. That gives most of the effect I was looking for.
