Question

I’m working on a UITable with allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = true, then I get a circle and red checkmark in the table when it is editing:

The problem is, I need to customize the table view cell such that there are some background image for the cell, and I need a larger margin in the left side of the cell. I can customize the cell contentView for the content position, but are there a way I can customize the checkmark and circle position?

I could have implement a customize table view cell with my own multi selection logic and view, but are there a way I can do it with the built-in multi-select implementation? If not, would you recommend a idiomatic way to do it?

Answer 1

To answer my own question, you cannot move the red checkmark and circle (editing control) with public API.

You can however, override the UITableViewCell layoutSubviews method. Inside it find the subview which is a “UITableViewCellEditControl“, and modify its position as you wish.
