title: Disable a UI button at launch
body: <p>I am stuck trying to disable a UIButton at launch. I want the button to be disabled at launch and to be able to enable it using other buttons within the app. </p>
  
  <p>I can disable it in the .xib from the attributes inspector, but then the following code does not re-enable it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>bankButton.enabled = Yes;
  bankButton.alpha = 1.0f;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or I can try to disable it in the viewDidLoad method with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bankButton.enabled = No;
  bankButton.alpha = .00f;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that does not work, because I believe the enable checkbox on the .xib overrides that? Im guessing.</p>
  
  <p>What can I do to have it disabled at launch, and enabled upon button press.</p>
