POCustom UITableViewCell, UITableView and allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing

Body
copied!<p>I have a problem using <strong>iOS 5</strong> new functionality to select multiple cells during editing mode. The application structure is the following:</p> <pre><code>-> UIViewController ---> UITableView ----> CustomUITableViewCell </code></pre> <p>where <code>UIViewController</code> is both the delegate and the data source for the <code>UITableView</code> (I'm using an <code>UIViewController</code> instead of <code>UITableViewController</code> for requirement reasons and I cannot change it). Cells are loaded into the <code>UITableView</code> like the following code.</p> <pre><code>- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tv cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { CustomTableViewCell *cell = (CustomTableViewCell*)[tv dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:kCellTableIdentifier]; if (cell == nil) { [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomTableViewCellXib" owner:self options:nil]; cell = self.customTableViewCellOutlet; cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone; } // configure the cell with data [self configureCell:cell atIndexPath:indexPath]; return cell; } </code></pre> <p>The cell interface has been created from a xib file. In particular, I've created a new xib file where the superview consists of a <code>UITableViewCell</code> element. To provide customization, I set the type for that element as <code>CustomUITableViewCell</code>, where <code>CustomUITableViewCell</code> extends <code>UITableViewCell</code>.</p> <pre><code>@interface CustomTableViewCell : UITableViewCell // do stuff here @end </code></pre> <p>The code works well. In the table custom cells are displayed. Now, during application execution I set <code>allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing</code> to <code>YES</code> and I enter the edit mode for the <code>UITableView</code>. It seems working. In fact, alongside of each cell an empty circle appears. The problem is that when I select a row the empty circle doesn't change its state. In theory, the circle has to change from empty to red checkmark and viceversa. It seems that circle remains above the <code>contentView</code> for the cell.</p> <p>I've made a lot of experiments. I've also checked also that following method.</p> <pre><code>- (NSArray *)indexPathsForSelectedRows </code></pre> <p>and it gets updated during selection in editing mode. It displays the right selected cells.</p> <p>The thing that it's not so clear to me is that when I try to work without a custom cell, only with <code>UITableViewCell</code>, the circle updates its state correctly.</p> <p>Do you have any suggestion? Thank you in advance.</p>
