pushViewController from button help

[orca]

Hello,

I have an application which has several viewcontrollers contained within it.

A tableViewController has a subclassed UItableView and UItableView cell which is drawn with code. I would like to push a view controller using a button from the custom tablecell.

The tableViewCell didSelectRowAtIndexPath has a different view being pushed. The button in question is in a subView of the Cell.

This is how it is:
Application Delegate
|_
| tableViewController
| |_
| tableView subclass
| |_
| tableViewCell subclass
| |_
| UIButton subView (push ViewController2 from here)
|_
ViewController2

Please Help

Thanks,
Afzal Khan

So it is assumed that you have created a custom UITableViewCell and in it added a button. All you need to do is connect the button to an Action, just like any other button. It is just the code will not be in the TableViewController but in the UITableViewCell instead.

If this isn't a custom cell view and you fulfill the Apple UI Guidelines, then you can use the DetailedDisclosure button as the accessoryType. Then you just override the accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:indexPath method.

Hope that helps.

Thank You for the reply Mark.

This is a custom Cell View. The original tableview's contentView get swiped to reveal another view which contains 4 buttons which perform various actions.

In another viewController, I did the following to push the same viewController in question

- (void)showContent{
	UIViewController *nextViewController = nil;
	nextViewController = [[ContentViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
	((ContentViewController *)nextViewController).content = content;
	if (nextViewController) {
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:nextViewController animated:YES];
    }
[nextViewController release];
}

However, from the cell's subview, I can not target that viewController too

when I try:
[self.superview.navigationController pushViewController:nextViewController animated:YES];
It will not work as the superview is a tableview subclass and the actual navigationController is one level above this in the hierarchy

I really am lost how to do this.

Thanks,
