How to change UITableViewCell style and insert buttons to UITableView?

[Alec]

Hi, I have a couple of problems.
The first is: how to change UITableViewCell style during UITableView usage. The logic how to use styles in the same table should be:
1. Set UITableViewCellStyleValue2
2. Set UITableView to edit- mode
3. Set UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle

I have try two different identifier to use right cells but it didn't work well or I did it wrong.

The reason why I want to change style during usage is because in table edit- mode I need add images to cells. Images should be kind of buttons where to set my own data properties.
Second question: Is it even possible to set own squares to the same area with cell images?
Third: is it possible insert more than one "real" button to cell (I already have UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton in use)?

if i correct realized you:

UIButton *yourButton = [[UIButton buttonWithType: UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
button.frame = CGRectMake( ?, ? ,?, ?);

NSMutablseArray *cells = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfNeededCells; i++){
[cells addObject: [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0 , cellWidth, cellHeight)] autorelease];
} // how  much cells in table you need

UITableViewCell *cell = [cells objectAtIndex:0]
[cell addSubview:youButton];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

P.S. can be errors in cide

I would recommend against what kenshin posted.

All of this should be handled in cellForRowAtIndexPath.

To set the UITableView to edit mode, use:

[self.tableView setEditing:YES];

You can then use properties like tableView.editing to determine what cells you need to provide.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

         if (tableView.editing){
		UITableViewCell * editingCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"EditingCell"];
		if (editingCell == nil){
			editingCell == [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue2 reuseIdentifier:@"EditingCell"] autorelease];
		}
		
		UIButton * aButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
		[aButton setFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, width, height)];
		[aButton setTitle:@"Button" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
		[aButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
		[editingCell.contentView addSubview:editingCell];
		
		return editingCell;
	}
	else
	{
		UITableViewCell * normalCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"NormalCell"];
		if (normalCell == nil){
			normalCell == [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:@"NormalCell"] autorelease];
		}
		
		[cell.textLabel setText:@"Some text"];
		[cell.detailTextLabel setText:@"Some more text"];
		
		return normalCell;
	}
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

Yes, all must be here, simply i think that topic starter know, where must be code ^^, because i write so small code

[harrytheshark]

cellForRowAtIndexPath is called for every row, putting your code in there creates a leaking NSMutableArray containing more cells than is needed (just 1).

You're also creating cells without a style or reuseIdentifier.

Finally, UIButton doesn't have an initWithType method.

[kenshin]

if you are not understand it was only little example, not complete code, that you can paste in your project. So if topic starter have basic programming skills he can correct use this code. Or no?

p.s. offtop

[harrytheshark]

If you can't code it yourself, give ideas which the poster can write their own code from.

It's never good to post code that just won't work and isn't logical.

Now I use only UITableViewCellStyleValue2 style with new UIImageView in normal mode and UIButton in table editing- mode.
There was no problem to use examples so next time I will send my questions to the advanced forum. Thank you for everyone guys.
