I am building a custom UITableViewCell which will be displayed while the user is downloading data from a web service, and which will include a “Cancel” button to allow them to cancel the URL connection. I’d like to emulate the look-and-feel of the “Delete” buttons which are displayed in the table editing view, like this:
How can I create such a red button which says “Cancel” instead of “Delete” in my custom UITableViewCell? It appears that the only type of button I can put in a UITableViewCell is a regular UIButton (UIBarButtonItem won’t go anywhere except a UIToolbar), and Interface Builder doesn’t give an option to create a red Delete-like button as a standard style.
In the end, I just had to create my own custom UITableViewCell, and use some Photoshop magic to figure out how to make a button that looks exactly like the iPhone Delete buttons, but saying “Cancel.” It didn’t take that much time.
