How to disable Scroll left/right on UIPageViewController?

Question

I have been researching this all day, there are many posts about this but I haven't managed to find any that are helpfull for me!

I have a UIPageViewController which displays two views(It is not a root view).

Basically when I add a function from one of those views inside the UIPageViewController I would like to be able to disable the scrolling...?

Is that possible in any way?!

Many thanks in advance to anyone that help!

Just found the solution!

In your page view controller, add following

    override func viewDidLoad(){
        super.viewDidLoad()
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(yourpageviewcontroller.enableSwipe(_:)), name:"enableSwipe", object: nil)
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(yourpageviewcontroller.disableSwipe(_:)), name:"disableSwipe", object: nil)

    }
    func disableSwipe(notification: NSNotification){
        self.dataSource = nil
    }

func enableSwipe(notification: NSNotification){
    self.dataSource = self
}

In your child view controller, you can just post notification by following.

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("enableSwipe", object: nil)

OR

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("disableSwipe", object: nil)
