Is it possible to access a UITableView's ScrollView In Code From A Nib?

Question

Right now I am creating a UITableView in a FlipsideView nib. I don\'t seem to be able to change the background of the table view from within interface builder. I can fix t

Answer 1

If I'm not mistaken, the table views for the Stocks and Weather applications are simply single-section grouped table views (UITableViews initialized with the UITableViewStyleGrouped style). You shouldn't need to customize anything about the table view's UIScrollView properties to generate this same rounded-corner effect.

Answer 2

You can add a corner radius to any view's layer. It would look something like this:

theTableView.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0f; // Or whatever radius you wanted to set

I believe you'll need to link to the QuartzCore framework and import the QuartzCore.h header, too.

This will round the corners of the table similar to how they appear in the flipside of Weather.app.

Answer 3

A UITableView doesn't have a UIScrollView, it is a UIScrollView. UITableView is a subclass of UIScrollView as can be seen it the documentation. Any properties of functionality of UIScrollView you want to access can be directly accessed via the table view.

Similarly, UITableViewDelegates are all UIScrollViewDelegates.
