Resizing UITableViewCell when entering edit mode.

Question

I have a cell that I have designed in Interface Builder, and when I enter edit mode, it moves the whole cell to the right to make space for the delete icon, but it pushes all items to the right, not shrink them down. It pushes a UILabel off of the edge of the cell. Also, this is over the move handles. How do I shrink these items down, instead of just moving them.

Answer 1

I've never made a custom tableview cell in Interface Builder. So, I don't know how to solve your problem on Interface Builder. But if you programmatically add all items into the contentView property of UITableViewCell instead of adding these into UITableViewCell itself, these items would automatically shrink when entering edit mode.
