Tharindu,
I did this by subclassing UITableView and overriding - (void) setBackgroundImage:(UIImage*)image

This gives me a static background that the tableView will scroll over the top.

Next you need to create a custom cell for your messages and pop them into the UItableView subclass in the method - (UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

Someone will probably correct my approach if it is inefficient or incorrect.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you still can not get there.

Regards
Damien

Hi,

I am trying to implement a custom ui view with a background image to append chat messages into a scroll view like in iPhone default Messages SMS App.
But I have few things to clarify.

If its multiple lines how can I remove the image scaling so that it would
not look like that background image is scaled ?

Could anyone suggest some solution for this.

Thank you
