Question

I have a custom UITableView class for creating shadow effects on all of my UITableViews.
Is it possible to incorporate this class with my UITableViewController(s) without creating a nib file for each table view controller? Is there another way to link this custom UITableView other then in IB?

Answer 1

Using a UITableViewController, set the delegate and datasource on your custom UITableView to the controller and then set that custom tableView instance as the UITableViewController’s tableView property.

 [instanceOfMyCustomUITableView setDelegate:self];

 [instanceOfMyCustomUITableView setDataSource:self];

 [self setTableView:instanceOfMyCustomUITableView];

self being the instance of the UITableViewController
