Question

I am trying to default the top cell in my table view to be highlighted whenever the subview appears.

I tried to do this:

switch(indexPath.row) { // assuming there is only one section
    case 0:
      cell.textLabel.text = @"First Cell:";
      cell.highlighted = YES
      break;

But this doesn’t work as I get a black overlay on my first cell instead.

EDIT (added screenshot)

Any advise on this will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I think what you need is,

cell.selected = YES;

If you want it animated you can use,

[cell setSelected:YES animated:YES];
