Question

I created a UITableViewCell in Interface Builder which I have added a UIImageView and a UIButton to. I have given the UIButton an outlet, and hooked it up to a IBAction with the touch up inside event set. I assumed it would call this method, as everything looked like it is hooked up:

- (IBAction)pressedCheckbox:(id)sender {
    [sender setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"checked.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    NSLog(@"clicked check");

}

Checking the connections tab, I have everything set correctly, the outlet and the action. And I get no errors, but when previewing the app, clicking on that button inside the UITableViewCell does nothing, and I don’t see anything in the logs.

Ideas on why it won’t let me click my button which is in a UITableViewCell?

EDIT:

Code for cellForRowAtIndexPath:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
        cell.editingAccessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
        cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
    }

    if (indexPath.section == 0) {
        switch (indexPath.row) {
            case 0:
                cell = topCell;
                break;
            case 1: 
                cell = cell1;
                break;
        }//end switch

    }//end if

    return cell;
}

I also figured out what the problem was. I was needing to set different heights for cells and was using:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

     if (indexPath.section == 0) {

          switch (indexPath.row) {

               case 0:

                    return 26;

                    break;

          }//end switch

     }//end if

     return tableView.rowHeight; <-- I just added this and it fixed the issue

}

Previously I was only returning a value for cell 0, so it was causing issues with all my other cells
