Question

I have a custom cell and when the user selects that cell, I would like the text in the two UILabels to change to light gray.

ChecklistCell.h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>


@interface ChecklistCell : UITableViewCell {
    UILabel *nameLabel;
    UILabel *colorLabel;
    BOOL selected;


}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *nameLabel;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *colorLabel;



@end

ChecklistCell.m:

#import "ChecklistCell.h"


@implementation ChecklistCell
@synthesize colorLabel,nameLabel;
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier {
    if ((self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier])) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}


- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {

    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    // Configure the view for the selected state
}


- (void)dealloc {
    [nameLabel release];
    [colorLabel release];
        [super dealloc];
}


@end

In your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method, make a call to get the current cell and update accordingly:

CheckListCell* theCell = (CheckListCell*)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
theCell.nameLabel.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
theCell.colorLabel.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
