ios TableViewCell Customization issues. Not displaying the customized text - ios

Question

Hi I have an requirement to customize UITableViewCell. Hence I have created a custom class and necessary UI (xib) to support it. For the XIB I have chosen the class as the derived class that I have created. My Problem is when after linking the display labels to the properties and me setting the values at runtime does not display the text desired. Its left as blank. Below is the code snippet.
#interface CustomCell : UITableViewCell
{
IBOutlet UILabel *titleRow;
}
#property (nonatomic, strong) UILabel *titleRow;
#property (nonatomic, strong) UILabel *subTitleRow;
#property (nonatomic, strong) UILabel *otherTextRow;
#end
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"MedVaultCell";
CustomCell *cell = nil;
cell = (CustomCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
// Configure the cell...
if (nil == cell){
//Load custom cell from NIB file
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"CustomCellHistoryCell" owner:self options:NULL];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
//cell = [[CustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
//cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;
}
// get the object
Weight *currentCellWeight = [_weights objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
// Configure the cell...
UILabel *titleLable = [[UILabel alloc]init];
titleLable.text = currentCellWeight.customDispText;
[cell setTitleRow:titleLable];
cell.titleRow.text = currentCellWeight.display;
cell.titleRow.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
//cell.textLabel.text = [[_weights objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] customDispText];
//cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
return cell;
}

First, I hope your cellForRowAtIndexPath is in your UITableView delegate, not in your custom cell class.
Secondly, here is the problem:
// Configure the cell...
UILabel *titleLable = [[UILabel alloc]init];
titleLable.text = currentCellWeight.customDispText;
[cell setTitleRow:titleLable];
In this code you are creating a new label and overriding your IBOutlet label with the new label. Then you are not displaying the new label. Instead, change the code to this:
// Configure the cell...
cell.titleRow.text = currentCellWeight.customDispText;
However, you then reset the titleRow.text right after it to currentCellWeight.display.
So you need to pick which one of those you want to be the text and set the text to that. You do not need to create a new label (UILabel *titleLable = [[UILabel alloc] init];) because you have already created the label in IB.
