Table Index Highlight

Question

I believe that this should be just a property, but for life I was looking for me and can not find the answer.

I have a table pointer to the right of my table. When selected, it highlights everything. I would like to emulate an iPod application when it is semi-transparent when selecting the index itself (alpha, possibly .4f).

Any ideas?

Answer 1

From what I discovered, this could do it (but might reject your application):

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tv cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { for(UIView *view in [tv subviews]) { if([[[view class] description] isEqualToString:@"UITableViewIndex"]) { [view setAlpha:0.4]; } } //rest of cellForRow handling... } 

Answer 2

I do not think it is possible, look at these two questions:

• Setting section indexes in UITableView in iphone application
• iPhone Dev: Create Your Own Index

Google Fu brought nothing new.

The only official way seems to be writing your own index, which seems to be a moderate task.
