Can a Table cell works like a button in iphone?

[santosh_kumar]

Hi all, i created a table with custom cell view with each cell containing a button,textfield and label. When a user touches any of these controls say for example label, i need to know which control touched ( like user touched label).
Can we do this? If so please help me.

Thanks in advance.
Santosh.

create a new file and specify that it subclasses uitableviewcell

xcode will create some methods for you. add the code for buttons, etc in the init method.

finally instead of alloc uitableviewcell in your tableview delegate methods, use your own uitableviewcell subclass instead

hope this helps

Thanks for your reply losingSkillz. I got it as you said but i'm not getting which input field is selected.I have one button and one textfield in every cell, when a user selects textfield i should be able to know that input is coming from textfield.

-(void)touchesBeganNSSet *)touches withEventUIEvent *)event
{


UITouch *touch=[[event allTouches] anyObject];
CGPoint location=[touch locationInView: self];

if(CGRectContainsPoint(label.frame, location))
{

NSLog(@"label touched");

}
}

With this code we can tell which control is selected on the screen.

you need to create a delegate class (could be your class with the tableview) so that when a user touches any textfield or button, your delegate class will receive the call.

also you might need an identifier so that you know which cell was tapped. you could define it in the header (a string or something)

hope this helps
