Question

I design a cell in IB, and load that cell in UITableview using “loadNibNamed” and it is handy.

But sometimes I want to be able to overrride some of its layout when needed, for instance if there are UILabel and UITextfield, I want to be able to change the width of the Label for instance..if I override this cell layout do I have to define everything in that cell again, or I can overrride whatever control I want.

And also how and in which method can I do this?

Set tags in intefacebuilder to the uikit objects, you want to modifiy, eg an uilabel.

In

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

where you setup the cell
call

[(UILabel*)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:YOURLABELSTAGHERE] setFrame:LABELSNEWFRAMEHERE];
