Get the view a UIButton is on

Question

I have a UIButton on a Custom UITableViewCell, i have a method "done".

How can i get the CustomTableViewCell via the Button?

-(IBAction)done:(id)sender {
    (CustmCell((UIButton)sender).viewTheButtonIsOn...).action
}

Answer 1

The answer by CodaFi is most likely enough but it does make the assumption that the button is added directly to the table cell. A slightly more complicated but safer bit of code could be something like:

-(IBAction)done:(id)sender {
    UIView *parent = [sender superview];
    while (parent && ![parent isKindOfClass:[CustomCell class]]) {
        parent = parent.superview;
    }

    CustomCell *cell = (CustomCell *)parent;
    [cell someAction];
}

Answer 2

If it is added directly to the cell as a subview, you can use -superview to get it's parent view. Also, you need to cast with pointers because objects are never taken by value, only pointed to in Objective-C.

-(IBAction)done:(id)sender {
    [(CustmCell*)[(UIButton*)sender superview]someAction];
}
