Deactivate UIScrollView decelerating

Is there a way to deactivate the decelerating of a UIScrollView?

I want to allow the user to scroll the canvas, but I don't want that the canvas continues scrolling after the user lifted the finger.

This can be done by utilizing the UIScrollView delegate method scrollViewWillBeginDecelerating to automatically set the content offset to the current screen position.

To implement:

  1. Assign a delegate to your UIScrollView object if you have not already done so.
  2. In your delegate's .m implementation file, add the following lines of code:

    -(void)scrollViewWillBeginDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{  
        [scrollView setContentOffset:scrollView.contentOffset animated:YES];   
    }
    

Voila! No more auto-scroll.
