It just looks like a view controller with specific views in it suitable for the content being edited with buttons set for the leftBarButtonItem and rightBarButtonItem properties of the navigationItem. Probably presented modally.

Thanks. The buttons on the topbar are left and right bar button item.

I shoulda been a little more clear in the question but i was wondering how you would do the "repeat", "sound" and "snooze" part of the view that i've linked.

Actually this is a grouped table view.
My only questions is how to edit it and display the result of the editing in the cell itself?

You have a data model linked to the view via a controller layer. Just as normal.

Please elaborate on what you mean by "how to edit it". Because for the alarm setting example you're using, you'll see that 3 of the 4 rows actually push a new view controller onto the nav stack (2 of which are also grouped tables).

Hi Dejo.

What i exactly want to do is have a view like the alarm settings page.

When i click on the 'Repeat' cell, a action sheet should pop up with few options
and which ever option i click should be displayed in the same table cell. (like how the word 'Never' appears in the example picture i've linked).

I've basically not figured out the logic on how to do this.

i think this is what i should do.

If that's what u want, shouldn't be so hard. there is a Special build in function for this, well, not function, but new Header files for this.
Go new file, Objective-C class, then select, instead of NSObject, TableViewCell, and tadaa
Because, what u sended, is the standard. u can customize it yourself by using NIB/Xib's.

If u want to use the standard build in go to your delegate methods of your UITableView like this

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
	
	static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:[B]UITableViewCellStyleValue2[/B] reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
		cell.editingAccessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
    }
	
	switch (indexPath.row) {
        case 0: 
			cell.textLabel.text = @"Title";
cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"Test";
			break;
        case 1: 
			cell.textLabel.text = @"Author";
cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"Test2";
			break;
        case 2:
			cell.textLabel.text = @"Copyright";
cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"Test3";
			break;
    }
    return cell;
}

Something like that
The most important is the thing i put in bold. u can edit it to your likings.
have fun
