UIScrollView pagingEnabled example.

UIScrollView* containerView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame];
containerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
containerView.scrollEnabled = YES;
containerView.pagingEnabled = YES;
containerView.bounces = NO;
containerView.directionalLockEnabled = YES;

self.view = containerView;

Example of [UIScrollView pagingEnabled].

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor viewFlipsideBackgroundColor];

    // 1. setup the scrollview for multiple images and add it to the view controller
    //
    // note: the following can be done in Interface Builder, but we show this in code for clarity
    [scrollView1 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    [scrollView1 setCanCancelContentTouches:NO];
    scrollView1.indicatorStyle = UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleWhite;
    scrollView1.clipsToBounds = YES;        // default is NO, we want to restrict drawing within our scrollview
    scrollView1.scrollEnabled = YES;

    // pagingEnabled property default is NO, if set the scroller will stop or snap at each photo
    // if you want free-flowing scroll, don't set this property.
    scrollView1.pagingEnabled = YES;

    // load all the images from our bundle and add them to the scroll view
    NSUInteger i;
    for (i = 1; i <= kNumImages; i++)
    {
        NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"image%d.jpg", i];
        UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:imageName];
        UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];

        // setup each frame to a default height and width, it will be properly placed when we call "updateScrollList"
        CGRect rect = imageView.frame;
        rect.size.height = kScrollObjHeight;
        rect.size.width = kScrollObjWidth;
        imageView.frame = rect;
        imageView.tag = i;    // tag our images for later use when we place them in serial fashion
        [scrollView1 addSubview:imageView];
        [imageView release];
    }

    [self layoutScrollImages];    // now place the photos in serial layout within the scrollview

}
