It looks to me that the preferred strategy on the iPhone is to use a derivative of UITable to place strings, images and UI controls on the screen for user interaction. First off - can anyone confirm this or propose a more effective method?

Secondly, the problem I have encountered with UITable is that the following delegate

Code:

- (UITableCell*) table: (UITable*)table cellForRow: (int)row column: (int)col

is called with bad values for col so laying out a screen in a table with more than one column is problematic. Has anyone found a way around this?

I've not tried iPhone development yet, but something jumps out at me:

In cocoa, the table rows are normally represented by integers, but the columns by identifiers. Are you sure col is an int, rather than a UITableColumn* or something?

I may be barking up the wrong tree of course. Let us know how it goes!

That makes sense - Thanks!

Go browse through some of the iPhone projects at Google Code. Plenty of working UITable examples there.
