Yes, the enabled property is what you want. You can also use userInteractionEnabled as well, but I think that enabled will suffice.

I found that `enabled` alone isn't enough. A disabled segmented control will still receive touches and change its segment. It needs the `userInteractionEnabled` set to `NO` too. – nevan king Jun 21 '13 at 18:55

Yes, for example. You can also use [segmentedControl setUserInteractionEnabled:NO]

Upon tapping a segment I was making a network call and during the network call I wanted to disable the segment and also have it greyed out a bit.

Using isUserInteractionEnabled will only disable/enable the segment.

But using isEnabled will gray add a gray overlay in addition to disabling/enabling the segment.

So for me isEnabled was a better alternative
