How to disable the Xamarin Button[SfButton]

Let us have a demo sample with Switch control, and we have changed the enable option of Button based on its IsToggled of Switch.

[XAML]

..  

<Switch HorizontalOptions="Center"  VerticalOptions="Center" IsToggled="{Binding IsButtonEnabled}"  />
<buttons:SfButton 
           ..
           Text="Button" 
           FontSize="18" 
           Command="{Binding ButtonCommand}" >
</buttons:SfButton>

..

Invoke the CanExecute method of button's command while changing the model property of IsButtonEnabled (IsToggled's model property) and, based on the return value of CanExecuteClickCommand, we can enable or disable the Button.

[C#]

       …

       public Command ButtonCommand { get; set; }

       public bool IsButtonEnabled
       {
           get { return isButtonEnabled; }
           set
           {
               isButtonEnabled = value;
               ButtonCommand.ChangeCanExecute();
               OnPropertyChanged();
           }
       }

       bool CanExecuteClickCommand(object arg)
       {
           return isButtonEnabled;
       }

       public ViewModel()
       {
           ButtonCommand = new Command(ExecuteClickCommand, CanExecuteClickCommand);
       }
       
      
       void ExecuteClickCommand(object obj)
       {
           //Execute Xamarin.Forms SfButton Command action.
       }
