UIKit setAccessoryType for TableView

  So I figured it out, I was trying to set the accessory type to the view instead of the cell.
  
  I added the following:

  // Add to the public section of the TableView class   void setAccessoryType(NSString *accessoryType) { if ([accessoryType isEqualToString:<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/None" rel="nofollow">@None</a>]) { delegate.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone; }else if([accessoryType isEqualToString:<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/DisclosureIndicator" rel="nofollow">@DisclosureIndicator</a>]){ delegate.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator; }else if([accessoryType isEqualToString:<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/DetailDisclosureButton" rel="nofollow">@DetailDisclosureButton</a>]){ delegate.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton; }else if([accessoryType isEqualToString:<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/Checkmark" rel="nofollow">@Checkmark</a>]){ delegate.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark; }else{ delegate.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone; } }

  there are a few other bits you have to add like:

  <a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/property" rel="nofollow">@property</a> (nonatomic, assign) UITableViewCellAccessoryType accessoryType; <a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/synthesize" rel="nofollow">@synthesize</a> accessoryType;

  at the beginning of the TableView section
  
  and then in the cellForRowAtIndexPath function add below the textlabel stuff:

  // Accessory Type cell.accessoryType = accessoryType;

  you also have to add in the delegate a method to send when they click on the Accessory Detail Disclosure Button. I don't believe the normal Disclosure Indicator sends a message.
  
  so add in:

  //delegate methods -(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { getObject(L, target); if (!lua_isnil(L, -1)) { lua_getfield(L, -1, "dispatchEvent"); lua_pushvalue(L, -2); lua_getglobal(L, "Event"); lua_getfield(L, -1, "new"); lua_remove(L, -2); lua_pushstring(L, "accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath"); lua_call(L, 1, 1);   lua_pushinteger(L, indexPath.row); lua_setfield(L, -2, "Row"); if (lua_pcall(L, 2, 0, 0) != 0) { g_error(L, lua_tostring(L, -1)); return; } } lua_pop(L, 1); return; }

  Here is with the DisclosureIndicator
  
  
  
  And with the DetailDisclosureButton
  
  
  
  In your cellForRowAtIndexPath function just put in:
  TableView:setAccessoryType("DetailDisclosureButton")
  
  and you should be set.
  
  Enjoy!
