objective c - get indexPath for customCell in TableView -

i have uitextfield in customcell. want able text user inputs in it. in customcell.m file can text inputed

[self.atextfield addtarget:self action:@selector(atextfieldediting:) forcontrolevents:uicontroleventeditingchanged]; 

but cannot indexpath can save nsmutablearray holds uitextfields.

in tableview cannot didselectrowatindexpath run. cannot textfielddidbeginediting method output anything. if helps have tableview sections.

my idea @ moment indexpath.row , indexpath.section tableview , save them extern can access in customcell.m

i grateful ideas or specific examples of how this. or different cleaner way accomplish want.

you should able index path using -indexpathforrowatpoint: method on uitableview.

you can (not tested):

- (void)atextfieldediting:(uitextfield *)textfield {     cgpoint convertedpoint = [textfield.superview convertpoint:textfield.center toview:self.tableview];     nsindexpath *indexpath = [self.tableview indexpathforrowatpoint:convertedpoint];     // use index path... } 

edit:

in case cell receiving edit events, can define protocol , make view controller delegate of cell. call delegate method atextfieldediting method , pass cell. have cell can call -indexpathforcell on table view. if none of makes sense, delegate pattern. it's common in cocoa/cocoa touch , documented online.
