Question

I’m currently working on an app where a user has to edit his/her profile. I would like to use the edit mode like in the contacts app. (Labels become Textfields)

Is there an easy way to achieve this? Or do I have to replace the cell.detailTextLabel.text with a uitextfield by myself?

Example contacts app editing view:

For anyone interested, here is some sample code to add an UITextField to your cell:

                cell.textLabel.text = NSLocalizedString(@"nameLabel", @"");
                //add textField
                if(![cell viewWithTag:101]) {
                    UITextField *aliasField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(93, 13, 225, 44)];
                    aliasField.text = @"Eric Mulder";
                    aliasField.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:15.0f];
                    aliasField.tag = 101;
                    [cell addSubview:aliasField];
                }
                cell.detailTextLabel.text = nil;
