Hey, I\'m looking for useful resources about Delegates. I understand that the delegate sits in the background and receives messages when certain things happen - e.g. a table
In Cocoa, objects almost always identify themselves when calling a delegate method. For example, UITableView passes itself as the first parameter of the delegate message when calling it:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
If you wanted the same delegate to handle multiple UITableViews, then you just need a some conditional on the tableView
object passed to the method:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (tableView == self.myFirstTableView) {
// do stuff
} else if (tableView == self.mySecondtableView) {
// do other stuff
}
}
}
If you don't want to compare the object pointers directly, you can always use the tag
property to uniquely identify your views.
