Enabling zooming in UITableView

Hello,

So I'm trying to enable zooming in UITableView so you make the cells bigger. I know UITableView is a subclass of UIScrollView. So I went to the interface builder and changed minimum zoom to .75, max to 4.0, paging enabled, bounce scroll enabled. However, it is not zooming. Any thoughts?

Thanks

In most applications of UITableView I have seen, the zoom capability of the UIScrollView superclass is not active. That is, zoooming is not used to change the size of a cell, nor to alter the amount of information visible on a single page of the table. The scrolling capability is intended merely to browse through the contents of the table's cells. Put another way, not all of the capabilities of the superclass are used in the subclass in this case.

If your intent is to make the cell larger to accommodate more information, then there is good information in the Table View Programming Guide. If you had other ideas about what zooming would accomplish on a table, maybe you could elaborate?

Well on one ipad app, pageonce finance, the UITable offers zooming capabilities. The main reason I wanted this is because we don't know what font size we should use for the cell text. We want to make it readable, but not exclude elderly people who have been complaining about the already large font size. Thanks for the info, though. Yeah, I had not seen any zooming on tables before that app, and I tried googling it but was not very helpful.
