Programmatically adding two text fields to a tableViewCell - ios

Question

I would like to programmatically add two text fields to an tableViewCell sub-class (more later) but having difficultly accessing the text-field from the view controller.
My table view sub class is:
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
textField.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;
textField.textAlignment = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeAllCharacters;
textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
[self.contentView addSubview:textField];
}
return self;
}
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
CGRect rect2 = CGRectMake(100.0, 10.0, 200, 30.0);
textField.text = #"testing";
[textField setFrame:rect2];
}
Within my view controller:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
XTSessionCell_iPad *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[XTSessionCell_iPad alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
// Configure the cell...
// ????
// cell.textField.text = #"enter";
return cell;
}
Any help very much appricatated.
Thanks

As others have mentioned in the comments, make the textView a readonly property in your XTSessionCell_iPad.h file. At a minimum your XTSessionCell_iPad.h file would look like:
#interface XTSessionCell_iPad : UITableViewCell
#property (nonatomic, readonly) UITextField *textField;
#end
And your XTSessionCell_iPad.m file would have a class extension to allow writing to that property:
#interface XTSessionCell_iPad()
#property (nonatomic, readwrite) UITextField *textField;
#end
