How to highlight a row in a UITableView

Question

The code below seems to have no effect. I want it to be highlighed in the same way it highlights when you tap on a row

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITab         


        

Answer 1

NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection: 0];

[tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];

usually works

If you are using interface builder to build your interface, one thing to check is that you specified the view of the table view controller. If you don't actually specify the view, this selection message may go nowhere.

(you specify the view by selecting the table view controller in the interface builder inspector window and dragging the outlet for "view" to the table view you want to do the selection in).
