I have a custom UITableViewCell subclass. I have set the contentView of my cell subclass to a custom UIView class in which i am overr
UITableViewCell
contentView
UIView
What has worked for me in the past is just putting:
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated { }
In my UITableViewCell subclasses (because it won't call super and make itself highlighted). Hope this is what you were looking for.
