Making a default property unaccessible? - objective-c

Question

A UITableViewCell by default has a textLabel property. Now, I've subclassed UITableViewCell, and have set up my own text layout system that doesn't use textLabel. To reduce chance of error, I'd like to make the default property textLabel unavailable to the compiler (auto-complete), and that if I try to access it outside the class, the code will not compile.
Making the property readonly will still allow me to access and change the label's properties, so that won't work.
Is there any way to do this?
Edit:
So the closest I've gotten so far is redeclaring the property in my subclass and deprecating it:
#property (nonatomic) UILabel *textLabel NS_DEPRECATED_IOS(2_0, 3_0);
which currently gives me a warning if I try to access the property. But this doesn't completely hide it from the compiler, and it also gives me a warning "Availability does not match previous declaration".

Answer 1

Ok, figured it out. You can use the UNAVAILABLE_ATTRIBUTE macro to accomplish this:
#property (nonatomic) UILabel *textLabel UNAVAILABLE_ATTRIBUTE;
and then doing cell.textLabel gives a compile error: textLabel is unavailable.

Answer 2

Its readonly. You can access but not assign. See header file.
#property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) UILabel *textLabel
//Example
#interface myCell : UITableViewCell
{
}
#end
#implementation myCell
-(void)check
{
//You can access
UILabel *label = self.textLabel;
//You canot assign
self.textLabel = label;
}
#end
