# disabled(_:)

Determines whether people can interact with this control.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency func disabled(_ disabled: Bool) -> some ControlWidgetTemplate

```

## Parameters

- `disabled`: A Boolean value that determines whether users can interact with this control.

## Discussion

Discussion Controls also respect the disabled(_:) modifier applied to the control’s label. That modifier only disables the label, however. To disable the control overall, apply this modifier to the control template: struct GarageDoorOpener: ControlWidget {     var body: some ControlWidgetConfiguration {         StaticControlConfiguration(             kind: "com.myapp.garagedooropener",             provider: DoorValueProvider()         ) { door in             ControlWidgetToggle(...) {                 Label(                     $0 ? "Open" : "Closed",                     systemImage: $0 ? "door.open" : "door.closed"                 )             }             .disabled(door.isSafetyLockEngaged)         }     } }
