Adding multiple lines of text to detailTextLabel without creating a custom cell

Question

Is it possible to add multiple lines of text as detailTextLabel without creating a custom cell in my application? If this can someone show me the correct way to implement this?

Answer 1

The line of code cell.detailTextLabel.numberOfLines = x; will be set to the number of lines that your cell will display (x is the number of lines to be displayed). Set to 0 if you want to remove the maximum limit and display as many lines as necessary.

Answer 2

Change the style of your cell using the cellForRowAtIndexPath function.

cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
