Here's the dilemma: I want to create a custom editingAccessoryView that contains two buttons for my stock UITableViewCell. I'd like to achieve this using a storyboard. So far I've followed the steps outlined here, here and here. I just can't seem to get it to work. The closest I got was when I created a xib of type UIView, set the class to that of my UIViewController that contains the UITableView and bound it to my IBOutlet, but on cellForRowAtIndexPath it's nil.
Truth is, I think I just need to know how to create the view and then map it to the editAccessoryView; from there I believe I can figure out how to add buttons and map the corresponding IBAction. Can anyone provide some step-by-step instructions or links to tutorials?
I solved this on my own with the following code:
UIView *editingCategoryAccessoryView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 120, 35)];
UIButton *addCategoryButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[addCategoryButton setTitle:@"Add" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[addCategoryButton setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 35)];
[addCategoryButton addTarget:self action:@selector(addCategoryClicked:withEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIButton *removeCategoryButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[removeCategoryButton setTitle:@"Remove" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[removeCategoryButton setFrame:CGRectMake(55, 0, 65, 35)];
[removeCategoryButton addTarget:self action:@selector(removeCategoryClicked:withEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[editingCategoryAccessoryView addSubview:addCategoryButton];
[editingCategoryAccessoryView addSubview:removeCategoryButton];
cell.editingAccessoryView = editingCategoryAccessoryView;
As you can see I created a new UIView programmatically and added two buttons via addSubview and then assigned it to the editingAccessoryView.
