Prevent UITableViewCells from creating as you scroll down - ios

Question

I'm creating a mail screen using which visually resembles the iOS native email app. It looks like this (Both images are of the same screen. First one is the top half and the second one is the rest of it).
The difference is my mail screen has more custom fields in addition to normal To, Cc, Subjet fields.
I'm using a UITableViewController to create this. Below is a code snippet which creates a cell (For each cell it's pretty much the same).
- (UITableViewCell *)tokenTableView:(TITokenTableViewController *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
self.tableView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,320,320);
UIView *contentSubview = nil;
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifierSubject];
if(!self.txtSubject) {
self.txtSubject = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
self.txtSubject.frame = CGRectMake(10, cell.frame.size.height / 2 - self.txtSubject.font.lineHeight / 2, tableView.tableView.bounds.size.width, 30);
self.txtSubject.placeholder = #"Subject";
[self setupMailData:indexPath.row];
}
contentSubview = self.txtSubject;
}
Say, I open up a draft. All the details in the input fields are filled and without changing anything, I hit send and it crashes the app. I know what's causing this. The problem is that normally the cells that are under the viewable portion of the screen gets created as you scroll down, right? But in this scenario, if I send it without scrolling down but those cells below the viewport don't exist thus it throws the error.
If I open the draft, scroll down and hit send, it works fine.
I need to know if there's a way to create all these cells at once. Even the cells that are below the viewport at first. Not depending on the user to scroll down.
I hope you have an idea about my situation. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thank you.

follow steps:
Take uiscrollview and set scrollview frame as which you want to display.
Take uitableview as a subview of uiscrollview
set property Scrolling Enabled = NO (uncheck checkbox in .xib) of uitableview
call reloaddata method of uitableview
set tableview frame and contentsize of scrollview
tblEmail.frame = CGRectMake(yourXPos, yourYPos, yourWidth, tblEmail.contentSize.height);
scrollObj.contentSize = CGSizeMake(yourScrollWidth,tblEmail.contentSize.height+10);
so, the height of tableview is equal its contentsize. so, its create all cells at a time. and set contentsize of scrollview is equal tableview contentsize. so, the scrolling feature is worked like uitableview scrolling...

Use a Storyboard, add a UITableViewController and set the 'Content' to StaticCells.
Then you can define all the cells and their content in the Storyboard. You can even wire stuff up to IBOutlets in your UITableViewController subclass and they will all be there for you when viewDidLoad is fired ...
When using a Storyboard your code for getting the ViewController looks like:
[[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MyStoryboard" bundle:nil] instantiateInitialViewController];
