UITableViewCell with UITextField losing the ability to select UITableView row?

Question

I am almost done implementing a UITableViewCell with a UITextField in it. Rather then going through CGRectMake and UITableViewCe

Answer 1

If the text field has userInteractionEnabled set to YES, and it fills the entire cell, you can not get the cell to listen to touch. In order to get the cell to respond to touches, you need to set the userInteractionEnabled of the text field to NO.

Edit: And if you want to make the text field editable, when the cell is selected, add the following code in didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method,

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    // get the reference to the text field
    [textField setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
    [textField becomeFirstResponder];
}
