Assign to my UIButton what the editButtonItem from the NavigationBar does

Question

Hello

I have a TableView on my View. I somehow do not have a Navigation bar. I only have UIButtons and I want one of my buttons to do exactly what the editButtonItem.

How must I proceed to do that?

Answer 1

add a target to that button – i.e.

@selector(editButtonPressed:)

Then in editButtonPressed: use the function

[self.tableView setEditing:YES animated:YES];

i think that'll work...

Answer 2

Where you create your button:

[myButton addTarget:self action:selector(toggleEditMode:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Then add the method:

-(void)toggleEditMode:(id)sender {
    // Change the tableview's editing state to the opposite of the current state
    [self.tableView setEditing:!self.editing animated:YES];

    // change the title of the button
    UIButton *editButton = (UIButton *)sender;
    if (self.editing) {
        [editButton setTitle:@"Done" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    } else {
        [editButton setTitle@"Edit" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    }
}
