Question

I am using the following code to edit a uitableview, but i’d like only one section to be editable – how should I do that? I cant seem to have access to “section” in the editing function below.

in viewDidLoad:

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;

Editing function:

- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated {

[super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
[tblSimpleTable setEditing:editing animated:YES];
if (editing) {
     editButton.enabled = NO;
} else {
    editButton.enabled = YES;
}
  }

Thank you.

The logic for that goes in -tableView:canEditRowAtIndexPath: of your table view controller (data source), like so:

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // Replace 0 with whichever section you want editable
    if (indexPath.section == 0) {
        return YES;
    } else {
        return NO;
    }
}

If you’re subclassing UITableViewController, you should be able to find this among the stub methods commented out beneath -tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:.
