如何在UITableview标题内的UISearchBar中添加按钮？

Question

My question is different than how to add button to UISearchBar , as he is adding the searchbar in a navigation bar and I need to use a table view for the same.

I am working in an app in which I need to add a button beside the search box in UISearchbar. I tried to find a solution for this but the only way I've found is using UINavigationBar. However, I need to animate the searchbar on begin and end of an editing event, so putting it on a navigation bar doesn't meet my needs.

I have put my search bar in my UITableview's header view so that it can scroll with the table view. It works fine and animates as expected and of course scrolls, except for the button beside the search box.

Is there any other way to add a button beside the search box in UISearchBar?

Answer 1

Yes you can add them both on a view and return the view in

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section;

method.

Answer 2

IB should work as well. Just make sure to connect the UISearchbar delegate to the View Controller and use its delegate methods from the VC, or alternatively use IBactions called from your searchBar to pass your data and actions to the VC logic. Nelson
