# selectionDisabled(_:)

Adds a condition that controls whether users can select this view.

```
@export(implementation) nonisolated func selectionDisabled(_ isDisabled: Bool = true) -> some View
```

## Parameters

`isDisabled`

A Boolean value that determines whether users can
select this view.

## Discussion

Use this modifier to control the selectability of views in
selectable containers like [`List`](/documentation/SwiftUI/List) or [`Table`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Table). In the example,
below, the user can’t select the first item in the list.

```
@Binding var selection: Item.ID?
@Binding var items: [Item]

var body: some View {
    List(selection: $selection) {
        ForEach(items) { item in
            ItemView(item: item)
                .selectionDisabled(item.id == items.first?.id)
        }
    }
}
```

You can also use this modifier to specify the selectability of views
within a `Picker`. The following example represents a flavor picker
that disables selection on flavors that are unavailable.

```
Picker("Flavor", selection: $selectedFlavor) {
    ForEach(Flavor.allCases) { flavor in
        Text(flavor.rawValue.capitalized)
            .selectionDisabled(isSoldOut(flavor))
    }
}
```
