Question

What’s the best way to create a UITableViewCell with an “info symbol” in the accessoryView/disclosure area? Like the iTunes Connect app, that is when you login there is teh Account Name cell, which has an “info” button you can click on. It basically has the text Account Name on the left, then a text field for entry of the account name, and on the right the info icon you can click on.

Aspects of the question:
– which UITableViewCell style is it using?
– is there a way to set the info button as a disclosure type? or is it a custom cell where you have to put your own image there
– then depending on the answer to the above item, how would you trap the info button button push to trigger some help text to be displayed as a modal dialog

Background – I wanted to use this as a means to allow users to get context based help on each item.

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight];
button.frame = CGRectMake(3,8,30, 30);
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(myAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[cell.contentView addSubview:button];
