Question

I have a UIButton added to a UITableViewCell

In order to reduce code redundancy, I’d like to touch event of UIButton to fall through the cell – so it ends up in:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

Can you tell me how?

Answer 1

That’s a bad idea. Instead, you should call the same function from didSelectRowAtIndexPath: & the button’s action method & place your common code in that function. Something like-

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//fetch the cell corresponding to this index path
MyCustomCell* cell = (MyCustomCell*)[self cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath] ;
[cell foo] ; 


}

-(void) buttonClicked:(id)sender //In your custom cell class
{
    [self foo];
}

HTH,
