Question

I have table cells with an image on the left. Now, every time one taps the cell, the image changes, but I only want the image to change when the left area of the cell is tapped. How can I do this?

Right now I have:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
{
    if (cell.imageView.image == [UIImage imageNamed:@"checkboxfull.png"]) {

        cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"checkboxblank.png"];
    }
    else if(cell.imageView.image == [UIImage imageNamed:@"checkboxblank.png"]) {

      cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"checkboxfull.png"];
      //[alert show];
    }
}

A table cell is just an UIView. Make a custom cell and use a UIImageView subclass or a button that responds to your taps.

Or use - (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event of the table cell and compute the location.
