How to get my View controler containing the current custom cell

Answer 1

I would strongly recommend you place your view controller presentation logic in a view controller, rather than a UITableViewCell.
As you're already using a custom cell, this will be fairly straightforward. Simply define a new protocol for your custom cell, and have your view controller act as a delegate. Or alternatively, as per this answer here you can forgo the delegate entirely, and simply have your view controller act as the target for your button.
Your custom UITableViewCell really shouldn't have any dependencies or knowledge of the view controller it's being displayed in.

Answer 2

well the easy way is to set an unique tag for the button in the cell and in cellForRowAtIndexpath method you can get the button instance as
UIButton *sampleButton=(UIButton *)[cell viewWithTag:3];
and set the action as
[sampleButton addTarget:self action:#selector(sampleButtonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
and set up the action in the viewcontroller
-(void)sampleButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
}

try this:
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"OpenHouseListCustomCell";
OpenHouseListCustomCell *cell = (OpenHouseListCustomCell *)[tblOpenHouses dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil) {
NSArray* nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"OpenHouseListCustomCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
cell.showsReorderControl = NO;
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
cell.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
[cell.btn1 addTarget:self action:#selector(ButtonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}
cell.btn1.tag = indexpath.row;
return cell;
}
-(void) ButtonClicked {
//your code here...
}
