I have subclassed UIViewController to provide common functionality for all UIViewControllers (for example I’m overriding viewDidLoad method). My app uses a bunch of view controllers that are arranged inside tab bar controller and in navigation controllers. Everything is OK, except the fact I have one UITableViewController. I would like to subclass not it but my custom MyUIViewController. I’m able to get the table working by implementing data source and delegate protocols:

@interface MaschinenTableViewController : MyUIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>

However in this case, I do not have an access to UITableViewController properties. For example, I cannot change the behavior of table row selection because self is MyUIViewController not UITableViewController:

self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = YES;

Are there any workarounds for accessing those properties?

    In this case you will need to add a UITableView variable to the header and set it up appropriately in viewDidLoad, and add it to your view. From this point it will work as a UITableViewController will (as essentially that’s all it does!)

    Take a look at my article here which takes this approach.
