delegates question

[dharr19]

Hi Stephen,

I was trying to figure out a good example for a delegate and was hoping for some input.

Cheers

 Look at the UITableView class.

So really the UITableView is actually the delegate and the protocols just define how to work with the class?

Hi David,

What Steve means is that there is UITableViewDeletate protocol which you must adopt when using the UITableView class.

This has optional methods (no required methods like the UITableViewDataSource protocol) for you to implement which allows you to for instance control what happens when a row in the table is selected.

I suggest you look at the UITableViewDelegate Protocol Reference: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITableViewDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html
and also the UITableView Programming Guide: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/TableView_iPhone/AboutTableViewsiPhone/AboutTableViewsiPhone.html
