UITableView section index

Question

I have a view which displays a UITableView with a section index along the right side. This was working perfectly when the controller class was a UITableViewController, e.g. in the .h file I had

@interface MyClass : UITableViewController

However, I wanted to make the table view have an image background. I changed the xib file so it had a UIView that contained the UIImageView for the background and the UITableView for the table with a transparent background, and changed the .h file to

@interface MyClass : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>

The view, delegate and datasource are all set to the appropriate objects and everything works fine with the table. The background shows through and the table functions properly. But the section index is no longer displayed along the right side of the table.

There were no other code changes and I can get the section index back by changing the controller's view to be the UITableView and changing the .h file appropriately, but then the background image doesn't show.

What is the correct way to get a section index on a UITableView that's inside a UIView?

Answer 1

Nevermind... it was a sizing issue with the UITableView that was pushing the section index off the right side of the view. Embarrassing oversight. All the code works as it should.
