How to add a button without using a custom cell in a UITableView?

Question

How to add a custom button on UITableViewCelland then delete a cell using this button without using Interface Builder and Custom Cell?

Answer 1

If you really want to add a custom button WITHOUT a subclass, just add the button to the contentView of the cell:

[cell.contentView addSubview:customButton];

You can set all the characteristics of the button: frame, target, selector, etc. Ad then used the above call to add it to the cell.

UIButton *customButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
customButton.frame=//whatever
[customButton setImage:anImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[customButton setImage:anotherImage forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[customButton addTarget:self action:@selector(delete) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
//yadda, yadda, .....

You can tag it as well.

customButton.tag = 99999;

So you can find it later:

UIButton *abutton = (UIButton*) [cell.contentView viewWithTag:99999];
