Sebastian, If you doing a UITableViewCell subclass, you'll have issues using the built-in textLabel property if you want it to be positioned somewhere other than the locations provided by the built-in styles.
Your best bet is to add your own UILabel to the subclass' contentView. @interface MyTableViewCell : UITableViewCell { UILabel *myOwnTextLabel; } @property (nonatomic, retain) UILabel *myOwnTextLabel; @end @implementation MyTableViewCell - (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString*)reuseIdentifier { self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier]; if (self) { CGRect r = self.contentView.bounds; r.origin.x = 30; r.origin.y = 5; r.size.width -= 50; r.size.height -= 10; myOwnTextLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:r]; [self.contentView addSubview: myOwnTextLabel]; // Add your own UILabel to the content view // You'll ignore the built-in textLabel property and use your own, myOwnTextLabel. } return self; } - (void) dealloc { [myOwnTextLabel release]; myOwnTextLabel = nil; [super dealloc]; } - (void) setText: (NSString *)text { myOwnTextLabel.text = text; } @end On Aug 3, 2010, at 1:24 PM, sebi wrote: > Hello, > > In my project (iPad) I use a UITableViewCell subclass.
