UITextView highlightedTextColor or similar option?

Question

I have a custom UITableViewCell with a UILabel and a UITextView in it.

I want the text for both of these to appear white when the user highlights the UITableViewCell. It's obviously very simple to set the highlightedTextColor of the UILabel, but the UITextView doesn't seem to have any similar type of property. Am I going to have to manually change the color of the UITextView whenever the cell becomes highlighted/unhighlighted or is there an easier way of accomplishing this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Found it and it was a lot easier than I thought. Just need to use the UITableViewCell setHighlighted method.

- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [super setHighlighted:highlighted animated:animated];

    if (highlighted) {
        [self.myTextView setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    } else {
        [self.myTextView setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; 
    }

}

Answer 2

The solution posted by the author is half right for my situation. Need to keep in mind that the following events happen:

1. press down --> setHighlighted:YES animated: is called
2. press up --> setHighlighted:NO animated is called
3. set selection --> setSelected:YES animated is called

Knowing this, and depending on how you want the TableCell to look when highighted vs when selected will determine if you need to implement setHighlighted:animated:, setSelected:animated: or both methods.

For the look I want, I need to implement both methods.
