To get view object from UITableviewCell - iphone

Question

I have added a textfield in oe of the cell in my tableview.
Now I want to compare if the touched object is textfield or not. For that I am using -
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *) event
{
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
}
method. Here I have to get the view touched in UITableview cell is textfield.
How can I get that? I am struct at this. Please help.

Answer 1

Use TextField Delegate method :
-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField

Answer 2

I think the best way to achieve this would be:
Create a UITableViewCell subclass with a UITextField as a subview. Define it as an IBOutlet and hook it up via interface builder.
Create a delegate protocol to notify a delegate (in your case it could be the same class handling the UITableViewDataSource) of this event.
Declare the UITableViewCell subclass as a UITextFieldDelegate and hook it up to the UITextField you've created. via IB
Implement
-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
[self.delegate textFieldWasTapped];
}
Now you'll be notified in the main controller of a textFieldWasTapped event. There's no need to check if it indeed came from a UITextField object because only instances if this type will be able to trigger this call.

Answer 3

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *) event
{
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
if([[touch view] isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]])
{
UITextField *txtField = (UITextField *) [touch view];
//UITextField object
}
}
