I’m trying to add an extension to modify the behavior of a custom swiftui view, similar to what you do with the disabled extension function:

Button("Title") { do something }
     .disabled(true)

I will oversimplify what Im trying to do with the code below, (comments in line).

 // The custom view is a horizontal paging view, for simplicity I just added a Stack with the value of a @State variable that would change the behavior to disable scrolling.
 struct MyHorizontalScroll: View {
    @State fileprivate var disableScroll = false
    
    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            Text("Disable Scroll: (disableScroll)")
                .font(.title)
        }
    }
}

In this extension I add a method called disableScroll that should allow the caller to either disable or enable the scroll

extension MyHorizontalScroll {
    func disableScroll(_ disable: Bool) -> some View {
        self.disableScroll = disable
        // /Note that the disableScroll state variable does not change doesn't matter what I try to set. I've tried setting it directly with self._disableScroll.wrappedValue with the same results.
       // The only thing that works is to copy the view variable and create a new State variable and setting it directly like this:
       /*
       var view = self
       view._disableScroll = State(initialValue: disable)
       return view
       */
        // The commented code above works, but I'm not sure this would be the right thing to do.
        return self
    }
}

An example of the pattern usage.

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            MyHorizontalScroll()
                .disableScroll(true)
        }
        .padding()
    }
}

I know I can use a @Bindable variable, but I like the extension modifier pattern. Is there a way to achieve this behavior change with this pattern?
