Custom UITableViewCell with button - iphone

Question

I subclassed UITableViewCell and added a button to it. How do I response to the event when the button is touched? I also need to know which index path was the button pressed on.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"CustomTableCell";
CustomTableCell *cell = (CustomTableCell *)
[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
loadNibNamed:#"CustomTableCell"
owner:nil options:nil];
for (id currentObjects in topLevelObjects){
if ([currentObjects isKindOfClass:[StatusTableCell class]]){
cell = (StatusTableCell *) currentObjects;
break;
}
}
}
cell.customButton.tag = indexPath.row;
return cell;
}

Answer 1

If you have added the UIButton by code in your UITableViewCell Subclass you can use the following code to add an action for it.
//In UITableViewCell subclass
[customButton addTarget:self
action:#selector(aMethod:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
And then you have already written the code for accessing the row number by setting,
cell.customButton.tag = indexPath.row;
You can get the tag value in the aMethod and access the indexPath.row value like below,
//In UITableViewCell subclass
-(IBAction)aMethod:(UIButton*)button
{
NSLog(#"indexPath.row value : %d", button.tag);
}

Answer 2

You can assign the IBAction in the CustomTableCell Nib and in the function do something like this:
- (IBAction) btnDoSomethingPressed:(id)sender {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [yourTableView indexPathForCell:(UITableViewCell *)[[sender superview] superview]];
//Use indexPath (or indexPath.row) like you would in a UITableViewDelegate method
}
This assumes that yourTableView is an instance variable assigned to your table.
