iphone dev add cell text to the same position point on UIView

Question

Hi,

When i selected a cell, i want to add the text from the cell to the underlying UIView at the same position.

So the text in the UIView should be at the same position as the text in the cell. I dont know how to map the cell origin to a UIView origin point.

Anyone any hints?

Answer 1

You can use UIView's convertPoint:fromView: and convertPoint:toView (and the corresponding convertRect:...) to convert between coordinate systems.

Answer 2

If I'm getting this right, you want to start by finding the position of the selected cell. For this, you can use the rectForRowAtIndexPath: method of UITableView:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    CGRect rect = [tableView rectForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}
