How to show deleteConfirmationButton on a clicked UITableViewCell

Question

I'm trying to make an UITableViewCell that shows the deleteConfirmationButton (while in edit mode) just like happens when I click at the editing controls but in my case I want it when the user clicks over the UITableCell.

I've already set the property AllowsSelectionDuringEditing to YES and I can delete the rows, I just want the deleteConfirmationButton to avoid any accident.

Any tips on how to do it?

Thanks!!

To do this you would probably use the commitEditingStyleForRowAtIndexPath function, which is called when an object is selected or deleted during editing.

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
 canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 {
return YES;
 }    

And then for the confirmation do something like this:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
 commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle
 forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

{
//make a UIAlert and display confirmation, if yes then run the following code, if no then break

// remove the object
 [myItems removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

// refresh the table view to display your new data
 [tableView reloadData];
 }
