iOS Drag right to make Delete button appear?

[pinsrw]

Hi all,

I've noticed that some apps from Apple have this great feature, whereby in a table the user drags right, then a red Delete button appears that they can use or not.

Is that a standard part of the iOS GUI, or something custom that's only used in-house by Apple?

Thanks.

Read the Table View Programming Guide.

You need to implement the following methods.

– tableView:willBeginEditingRowAtIndexPath:
– tableView:didEndEditingRowAtIndexPath:
– tableView:editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:

Don't forget "commitEditingStyle" if you want those changes to be reflected in your data source.
