How to disable slider interaction?

Using Unity 2021.3.1f1 LTS, I've created a slider which I do not want to be able to interact with.

(Or rather I want to be able to disable interaction and enable it as needed but for the purposes of this question I just need to be able to have a slider I can't interact with.)

I was under the impression that changing focusable to false would make it so it can't be interacted with. It works that way for text fields.

My code is essentially as follows:

Code (CSharp):

1. Slider slider = menu.Q<Slider>("SliderInput");
2. slider.focusable = false;

However simply dragging a new slider into the scene and changing it's focusable attribute to false doesn't disable it either. What am I missing here?

 

Ah that's it thank you.

I had assumed that that would change the visibility of the slider and affect my layout so I didn't even think to try it.

And as an aside, can you modify "enabled" in the UiBuilder? I think not being able to find/see it in the UiBuilder contributed to me not trying it.

 

Hello!

Since Writing the below text my colleague recommended this:

Code (CSharp):

1.             this.Q<Slider>("FocalDistanceSlider").SetEnabled(false);
2.             this.Q<Slider>("FocalDistanceSlider").style.opacity = 1.0f;

bearing in mind:



The Below Text
I want to disable the slider for user interaction but allow the events to continue and I also do not want to inherit the greyed out styling. I want a display only slider (Like a needle indicator)

I want a normal slider that you can NOT drag.

how would I achieve that?

In other UI tools you would toggle sensitivity to false.
a cool name would be Interactable
