I think you misunderstand what cell reuse is in UIKit. Each row must be an individual instance of some cell type, but as you scroll through a table you might go through dozens or hundreds of rows that all share a specific type. In such a case you might have less than a dozen cell instances for those hundreds of rows, but you still need individual instances for each row. -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
