Remove a UITableViewCells button when clicked - ios

Question

I Have a button within a uitableview cell -
I have set it up to trigger a fmethod when clicked - (the function displays messages and resets the message count).
my code for this method is as follows -
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//Define Custom Cells
static NSString *CellCountI =#"CellCount";
UITableViewCell *cell;
feedData *f = [self.HpFeedArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
//Comparison Strings
NSString *count = #"Count";
//If statement Cell Filters
//If Count Cell
if ([f.FeedGroup isEqualToString:count]) {
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellCountI forIndexPath:indexPath];
HP_Header_TableViewCell *hpTC = (HP_Header_TableViewCell *)cell;
hpTC.buttonPressedSelector = #selector(buttonImpMsg);
hpTC.buttonPressedTarget = self;
[hpTC.msgsBtn setTitle: f.FeedTitle forState: UIControlStateNormal];
return hpTC;
}
}
The buttonImpMsg method is as follows -
- (void)buttonImpMsg
{
NSLog(#"Back Button Pressed!");
[self removeBtn];
}
I would like to hide the button when clicked - but I'm not sure how to reference it from the buttonImpMsg method?

Answer 1

Pass the sender to the selector:-
- (void)buttonImpMsg:(id)sender {
[sender removeFromSuperview];
}

Answer 2

You could implement the delegate pattern, IMHO, it's the most proper way.
i think , better will be to make it hidden, if you want to again. – #pawan
I would also hide the button rather than remove it.
Try this implementation to hide the button, you can also do the same thing to hide this one after.
TableViewCell.h:
#import "TableViewCell.h"
#implementation TableViewCell
//.... Connect your action or set selector to this method:
- (IBAction)hideButton:(id)sender
{
UIButton *button = (UIButton *) sender;
// hide the button by using the setter
button.hidden = YES;
//.... Check if the delegate method has been implemented
if ([_delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(hideButton)]) {
[_delegate hideButton];
}
}
#end
TableViewCell.h
//... Declare the delegate:
#protocol CellDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)hideButton;
#end
#interface TableViewCell : UITableViewCell
//... Add a delegate property:
#property (strong, nonatomic) id <CellDelegate> delegate;
#end
ViewController.m:
//... set self a the delegate of your cell
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//...
cell.delete = self;
return cell;
}
ViewController.m:
//...
#interface ViewController () <CellDelegate>
//...
//... Implement the delegate method if you need to do stuff on the controller side
- (void)hideButton
{
//do stuff here if needed
}
