Question

I’m using a new class with nib and tableview. To costumize the TableViewCells i have defined some functions and constant values (#define) and special TableViewCells

 - (UITableViewCell*) CreateMultilinesCell :(NSString*)cellIdentifier { ... }

I want to use this costumized cell in other TableViews too.
Is it possible to pack this specific code into a file and load it into multiple files ?
like inlcude in PHP

From comment: What is the most reduced (OO-free, just functions) file possible in iPhone SDK ?

i hope you understand what i mean.
cheers Simon

Answer 1

Create a function and put it in it’s own file, and create a header and include that and call that function.

Like this:

• CellCreator.m: UITableViewCell *CreateMultilinesCell(NSString *cellIdentifier) { ... }

• CellCreator.h (and be sure to #include <UIKit/UIKit.h>): UITableViewCell *CreateMultilinesCell(NSString *cellIdentifier);

• Your TableView files (at the top): #include "CellCreator.h"

• To use it: UITableViewCell *cell = CreateMultilinesCell(@"identifier);
