A:
If the button's sole purpose is to offer deletion you should look into UITableViewDataSource which has a method called - (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath. Implement it like so:
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return YES;
}
And then implement:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle
forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// Database removal code goes here...
}
To use these methods, let your UITableViewController implement the UITableViewDataSource protocol by doing something like:
MyClass : UITableViewController <UITableViewDataSource>
in your header file, and be sure to remember to set the viewController's datasource to self.

what about button i want to do all this stuff when i click on a custom button and the button must be created without using interface builder and custom cell.

the canEditRowAtIndexPath method will automatically add a delete button on each row when in edit mode. Try it out :)

I'm not sure what you mean by custom cell. But I guess you could create a button for each row in the method that returns the cell for each row, and do a [cell addSubview:yourButtonInstance]. Be sure to set the target and action of that button appropriately. Action could be something like -(void)deleteRow:(id)sender where sender would be a pointer to the cell in which the user has clicked the delete button. But I don't get why you would want to do it that way, but that's none of my business of course.

Go search Google, I'm sure you'll find a stackoverflow question telling you how to add a button to a cell in a table view (you initWithFrame), and the action method should include the deletion routine (RTFM), and after deletion do [(UITableView *)[self view]reloadData].

A:
If you really want to add a custom button WITHOUT subclassing, just add the button to the contentView of the cell:
[cell.contentView addSubview:customButton];
You can set all the characteristics of the button: frame, target, selector, etc... Ad then used the above call to add it to the cell.
UIButton *customButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
customButton.frame=//whatever
[customButton setImage:anImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[customButton setImage:anotherImage forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[customButton addTarget:self action:@selector(delete) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
//yadda, yadda, .....
You can tag it as well
customButton.tag = 99999;
So you can find it later:
UIButton *abutton = (UIButton*) [cell.contentView viewWithTag:99999];
You will need to decide WHEN to add the button, maybe on cell selection, maybe in editing mode... just put the code in the delegate method of your choice.
